1. Sewage systems use water to carry waste away in
pipes. They can improve community health, especially in Chemical Treatment of Wastewater is crowded urban areas. Sewage treatment is costly, and normally preferred when the wastewater more often than not, sewage is dumped without being discharge is very small liked that produced treated. This spreads waste and all the germs, worms, and by industries, which contain chemicals. Chemical Treatment takes place in units toxic chemicals it may contain, causing health problems which are called reactors, Chemical such as hepatitis, cholera, and typhoid in places where sewage is dumped, (Conant, 2008). Treatment of the industrial wastewater can 4. Unit of Operation in Waste Water Treatment be achieved from one of the following Preliminary treatment-consisting of Screening and methods Chemical Coagulation , Chemical Precipitation, Oxidation & grit removal Reduction , Neutralization , Ion Primary Treatmentconsisting Primary Sedimentation exchange, Tank 2. Treatment of wastewater depends upon the (Environmental Engineering, R Shah). Secondary treatment-consisting of trickling filter and impurities. The impurities presents are physical, secondary sedimentation tank and disinfection unit, chemical, and biological and accordingly the (Environmental Engineering, R Shah). treatment given physical, chemical, and biological.
Biological Treatment fully Utilizes the micro-organism for
treatment of the wastewater. Depending upon the type of microbes used the biological treatment is classified as: Aerobic Treatment using aerobic organism; Anaerobic Treatment, (Environmental Engineering, R Shah).
3. Physical treatment unit. A unit of removal
5. Unit of Operation in Wastewater Treatment impurities is taking place due to physical processes like gravity settling etc. Mechanical straining takes When the treated Wastewater is intended for recycling or place in screen gravity Settlings takes place in Reuse as Domestic water Supply for Swimming pool use, clarifiers. Clarifiers are also known as Sedimentation the tertiary treatment is given to the Wastewater. The Basin or Settling tanks, phosphorus & Nitrogen content of Wastewater are reduced to unobjectionable level in tertiary Treatment. It (Environmental Engineering, R Shah). should be remembered that tertiary treatment is given after preliminary, primary and Secondary Treatment, (Environmental Engineering, R Shah).
