What is industrial wastewater treatment?

Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant

Wastewater treatment plant or ETP is a type of wastewater treatment method that is specially designed for industrial wastewater treatment and reuse and aims to release safe water to the environment from the harmful effects of wastewater. It can be seen that the production of industrial wastewater pollutes the environment a lot due to the rapid development of various industries that create a combination of their own pollutants. Therefore, environmental laws have guided all industrial units to improve wastewater treatment plants in order to prevent the direct release of untreated wastewater into the water.


Industrial waste contains different materials, depending on the industry. Some wastewater contains oils and greases, and some contain toxic substances (eg, cyanide). Sewage from food and beverage plants contains degradable organic pollutants. Because industrial wastewater has a variety of impurities,


Therefore, it requires a special technology called ETP. The ETP plant operates at different levels and includes various physical, chemical, biological and membrane processes for wastewater treatment from various domestic or industrial sectors such as chemicals, medicine, pharmacy, refineries, dairy , Mixed preparation plants and textiles and so on.


Benefits of ETP: For industrial wastewater treatment and recycling for further use Sewage before discharge are: Food industry and processed industry Pharmaceutical industry and hospitals Textile and paper industry Automotive industry Textile and paint industry Dairy and slaughterhouse industry Meat and slaughterhouse Refinery and petrochemical industries Steel industry 1. How do industrial pollutants pollute the environment?


Industry is a vital source of water pollution. Industrial wastewater reduces the aesthetic quality of water cycles such as ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. This has a significant impact on human health. In addition, contaminated wastewater (untreated wastewater) containing both organic and inorganic matter destroys marine life and reduces its ability to reproduce. Variety of impurities in industrial wastewater is associated with many serious health problems and damage to the natural environment
