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.

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 · ...

Role of Polyelectrolytes in Wastewater Treatment

  Effluent Treatment or Industrial wastewater treatment consists of mechanisms and processes which are used to treat water that have been contaminated by anthropogenic, industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment. Industrial wastewater serves as one of the important pollution sources that add up in polluting the water environment. The sewage sludge produced is subjected to sludge treatment. Many problems are associated with wastewater collection and treatment such as foaming, solid accumulation, high BOD, sludge de-watering, heavy metals and offensive odour.   But such treatments are no more complicated processes, since there are chemicals that are applicable for the treatment. These chemicals follow various treatment mechanisms in various different standards, which include from chemically treating raw wastewater before discharging it into the environment, to recovering valuable resources from sludge treatment and wastewater. Conventional tr...

Chemtex’s Propylene Glycol Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways.

Metal surfaces are prone to corrosion very easily.But with the help of propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor this corrosion can be prevented. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation. Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency. In Glycol system glycol is degraded from time-to-time,so it is very much important to stop this degradation.Glycol in presence of heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid. Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system. Propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor is also available in Pre Inhibited Propylene Glycol and normal Propylene Glycol Glycol turning Red. What does it indicate? Due to immense corrosion in system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn r...
