INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Industrial wastewater treatment plants are specialized systems designed to treat polluted water originating from industrial facilities (e.g. factories, production plants, organized industrial zones) in a way that is safe for the environment and public health. These systems are more complex than domestic treatment systems and are tailored to the
specific pollution loads of each industry (e.g. food, mining, textiles, etc.).
Industrial Wastewater Treatment Processes
1. Pre-Treatment:
- Screens, oil separators, equalization tanks
- pH neutralization (if necessary)
2. Physical Treatment:
- Sedimentation, flotation, filtration
- Removal of solid particles
3. Chemical Treatment:
- Coagulation
- Chemical precipitation
- Oxidation
4. Biological Treatment (if necessary)
- Activated sludge system
- Biofilm reactors
- Commonly used in textile, food, and beverage industries
5. Advanced Treatment (if necessary)
- Activated carbon, membrane filtration (UF, NF, RO)
- Removal of heavy metals, color, and odor
6. Sludge Treatment and Disposal
- Dewatering, drying, safe disposal
