Wastewater Treatment chemicals – Chemtex Speciality Ltd

 

 

Wastewater is any water whose quality has been adversely affected by human activity. Wastewater can begin from a variety of sources such as residential, industrial, business, or agricultural activities, etc. Depending on the source, the composition of wastewater ranges from mildly polluted stormwater run-off to toxic wastewater from chemicals, pharmaceutical, and metal industries. The presence of pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulates matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, pesticides, bio-solids, and many more undesirable substances can impair the quality of water.

Why treat waste water?

Domestic wastewater contains a large amount of solid material, food particles, toilet paper, grease, oil, soap, salts, metal detergent, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. Industrial wastewater is released from different commercial and manufacturing units such as textiles, printing, F&B, and production to name a few. it contains toxic chemicals, organic effluents, harmful microorganisms. The discharge of industrial, commercial waste into nearby water sources is another major cause of water pollution. The effects can be seen on water resources such as streams, ponds, tanks, and pipelines, which are often contaminated or polluted due to the discharge of sewage and garbage. Different kinds of germs which cause diseases grow in polluted water. There are a number of ways in which wastewater can cause pollution problems. These water bodies are the main sources of many other domestic applications. So, Proper treatments need to be carried out before it is exposed to another body of water.

Simple ways by which contamination of water can be prevented:

·         Preventing microbial contamination by using advanced technologies

·         Water sources should not be contaminated by farm run-off with chemicals and pathogens

·         Use of pesticides should be reduced

·         Reducing industrial wastes being discharged onto agricultural fields

·         Safer practices for the use of wastewater

·         Should not throw discarded antibiotics or other medication down the toilet or sink


By treating wastewater, we can protect the environment and the planet as a whole. Wastewater treatment easily removes impurities from wastewater and is converted into an effluent that can be returned back to the water cycle or reused. The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant.

The primary level of treatment includes the removal of unwanted, suspended, or dissolved solids from sewage. In this process, strong objects are trapped by sieving procedures and suspended solids are eliminated by sedimentation. These large materials are disposed of at the landfill.

Secondary treatment also removes remaining biodegradable matter and suspended solids that may have missed out on the primary level of treatment. In this process, wastewater gets mixed with bacteria and oxygen. The oxygen helps to eradicate pollutants faster. Then the water is taken to settling tanks where the sludge again settles, leaving the water free of pollutants.

Tertiary treatment eradicates a relatively considerable number of polluting elements and remaining dissolved substances like color, metals, organic chemicals, and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus. This chemical treatment involves the use of physical, chemical, and biological techniques to remove contaminants from water.

Chemtex Speciality Limited manufactures waste water treatment chemicals meeting all standard requirements, helping in the removal and elimination of harmful pathogens, bacteria, taking out hazardous chemicals, detergents, and toxins from the wastewater.

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor – Chemtex Speciality Limited

  Acid Corrosion Inhibitors are the most important inhibitor of any operation, preventing the impact of corrosion on exposed metal, tubular, downhole equipment, and surfaces and maximizing longevity, minimizing the operational cost. Corrosion is the chemical interaction with the environment that cause the deterioration of materials and it is unavoidable for all metals. When acids come into contact with metals, they initiate chemical reactions that lead to corrosion. Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids. This layer prevents direct contact between the acid and the metal, thus inhibiting the corrosive process. Mechanisms of Acid Corrosion Inhibition Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids.
