Wastewater from different facilities and industry sectors will have different wastewater characteristics. It is based on the industry sector and the location it operates from. Hence the characteristics differ and also the treatment methods will have to be determined to get the optimal result in wastewater.
As there is a wide range of industries that generate wastewater, there are also many new methods of treatment techniques that keep evolving. These new techniques are set and approved by environmental protection agencies. In India, this task is done by the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The Tribunal is assigned to provide effective and expeditious remedies in cases relating to environmental protection, conservation of forests, and other natural resources. NCT also takes care of the enforcement of any legal right associated with the environment. The Pollution Control Boards in India have also set definite standards for protecting water bodies across India. They have set pollution control limits for generating and disposing of wastewater.
Industries with manufacturing units have to keep improving their wastewater treatment facilities. It ensures that they meet environmental regulations, have competent and efficient technologies that are cost-effective, and increase market share. All these are possible if a company has innovative wastewater management technology installed.
As wastewater characteristics vary based on the industry type, location, and sector in which it operates, it is important that the treatment method is considered while determining to get optimal output. Also, the company should identify suitable designs while building a new treatment facility and or enhancing and improvising the existing infrastructure.
Currently, many companies have begun using software models to analyze and measure wastewater characteristics. They analyze scenarios and build contingency plans that can support the company. It involves assessing alternative methods ranging from simple to complex treatment processes. Companies also identify innovative and cost-effective techniques that can treat wastewater effectively and benefit the company.
While innovative and cost-effective techniques are identified, companies should consider finding a resource in the wastewater generated. Also, get alternative uses from it, for example, energy in the form of biogas or energy for electricity.
A few examples can be found in industries like food and beverage operations. It includes slaughterhouses and dairies where processed wastewater can be treated under anaerobic conditions. They can generate energy for electricity or fuel thermal processes such as boilers.
Many innovative techniques are there for wastewater management. It treats wastewater while retaining valuable resources for reuse, environmental sustainability, and profitability.
While various applications have been tested, Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) has been an effective technique used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment application. Apparently, MBBR has a significantly low footprint when compared to other conventional applications. In fact, the trend is that while combining MBBR systems with other applications not only is the footprint reduced, but it also maximizes results.
Hence, MBBR is a widely chosen technology as it optimizes wastewater treatment methods for plant operators. They look to reduce their footprint in their wastewater treatment plant also because of its low maintenance requirements.
Plant operators should look out for new technologies that can be combined with their existing processes and facilities. Companies should consider upgrading and enhancing the wastewater treatment processes and staying up-to-date with the ever-changing and evolving regulations for wastewater treatment plants in India.
Many technologies are researched and established for the various levels of wastewater treatment processes. Many are very adaptable, easy to use, and sustainable, although they’re constantly changing and evolving. It’s imperative that manufacturing companies need to stay up-to-date.
Companies have to understand which technology or process is suitable for their operational requirement, unit, and type of wastewater they produce. Once they identify the technology, they will achieve and benefit in producing a low footprint of wastewater in their facility. It enhances business productivity, lower maintenance requirements, and increases profitability and market share.
It is crucial to identify effective wastewater management and solutions to ensure a sustainable environment, improved health benefits, and benefit businesses and products that we all rely on.
