Wastewater Treatment - Domestic, Commercial & Industrial


Mandatory treatment of wastewater is the need of the hour to get rid of harmful pollutants excreted by domestic, commercial, agricultural or industrial applications.

Wastewater Treatment rendering otherwise unsuitable water for domestic, industrial or commercial utilizations. The sources which can be anything from mildly polluted storm water run-off to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and industries. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulate matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with the quality and need treatment to make it reusable.

Domestic wastewater contains large suspended wastes like rags, single-use plastics, smaller colloids like papers, peels and other minute pollutants resulting from human wastes, laundry wash offs, kitchen applications. Commercial wastewater constitutes pollutants from commercial properties like offices, hospitals, hotels, etc., that end up back in the environment springing harmful effects on the same. Industrial waste includes toxic chemicals, organic effluents, heavy metals, harmful microorganisms, foul odor which when discharged in nearby water sources like small canals, ponds, river streams, alters its original chemistry. The gruesome fact is these are the only water sources for many other domestic and potable applications. The treatment technologies that are followed considerably depends upon a series of steps tin order to reduce the waste toxicity and concentration.

Simple ways by which contamination of water can be prevented:
·         Advanced technologies to prevent microbial induced contamination
·         Properly treated water be allowed to flow from industries into water sources.
·         Prevent farm run-offs with chemicals and pathogens into water sources
·         Drinking water sources should not be used for any other potable applications
·         Exercise Chemical treatment of industrial and commercial water

Preliminary treatment involves the removal of unwanted, suspended or dissolved solids from sewage. This treatment primarily involves the use of polyelectrolytes which traps strong objects and sediments to evacuate suspended solids. Following up with this treatment is the removal of dissolved organic matter that may have missed out by any chance on the prelim phase. Final treatment cleans as well as disinfects relatively considerable number of polluting elements from sewage, producing effluent of water through routine chemical treatment. This chemical treatment involves the use of biocides, disinfectants, deodorizers, decoloring agents, coagulants, flocculants and others.
·   In domestic and commercial applications, wastewater is routed through pipelines to nearby drainage facilities that connect water bodies. What can be done is, the wastewater be transported to a sewage treatment plant before making its way to outer environment. 
·   Industries can afford their own waste water treatment plant where the wastewater may be treated with proper chemicals using technologically advanced resources before its exposure. This treated water can be used for innumerable applications including its reuse in the same industry, saving water.  All that is required is proper knowledge and execution.
Chemtex Speciality Limited is one of the leading manufacturers of Wastewater Treatment Chemicals based on cationic, anionic and non-ionic polyelectrolytes, organic and inorganic polymers, formulated with extensive operational and scientific research that meets all the standard industrial and commercial needs and requirements.

The Role and Importance of Demulsifiers in Oil and Gas Industry

  Demulsifier helps to extract oil and purify water, which is especially important in crude oil production and wastewater treatment.   It is a substance that separates an emulsion into components and destabilizes water-in-oil emulsions. In Crude production, Water-in-oil emulsions are typically produced, owing to the presence of emulsifying agents such as surfactants, slits, fine solids, drilling mud, clay, water, and other impurities. These impurities are undesirable need to be removed which would otherwise shackle the quality of the crude.   How does It work? Demulsifier consists of two liquids that are not mixed with each other and tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the other. This kind of liquid is called dispersion medium, and the droplets are called dispersed phase. During the demulsification process, a demulsifier accumulates on the surface of the droplets and groups them together.   The process of separating a...

What is EDTA? What are the applications of EDTA?

  E DTA or Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a weak acid used as a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid contains an amino carboxylic group with the formula C10H16N2O8. It is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of applications across various industries. EDTA is considered an anthropogenic compound with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, use to minimize metal contaminants, and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.   How Does EDTA Work? EDTA is a versatile compound with strong chelating properties that grabs metallic cations such as lead or calcium from the process. Its chemical structure contains four carboxylic acid groups and two amine groups, which allow it to form strong bonds with metal ions, preventing them from reacting with other substances, If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds. EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the re...

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant Remember that pungent smell when mass disinfection of public places occurs. That same irritating smell you can relate to in swimming pools, and your eyes itch and redden, and your skin itches, and there is a big board saying “Chlorine in pool”, that’s hypochlorous acid, viz., when sodium hypochlorite breaks down. Sodium hypochlorite/ Hypo (NaOCl) is inorganic chlorine based liquid disinfectant, available as aqueous solutions of 5.25% - 6.15% (household bleach) or concentrated 12% NaOCl solutions. Large quantities are also used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. In food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, and fish processing. Typical Uses of Hypo: ·       2%: Shock Chlorination of Wells · ...
