Waste Water Sanitation – Chemtex Speciality Limited

Improving Water, Safe Guarding Life

Issues related to wastewater management has been surfacing over digital and print media, social sites irrespective of facts that all of us have knowledge on what and why. The only question is when to step up? With about 80% of diseases humans need to deal with are water-borne. Hospitals and healthcare units deal with more than 80 percent water borne disease cases. Such level of extremism forces people to buy clean water with higher prices.

All these water bodies need to be free of regular contaminants, making them suitable for further utilization, especially drinking. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solids, 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.

With over 130 Crore population, and three fifth of water volume deemed toxic with zero usability, India is on the edge of facing the worst consequences of water scarcity, reason owing to its varied topography which is otherwise considered as one of its main strength. States like Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat are already feeling the impact and running Government campaigns to raise awareness among their people but is finding it difficult to cut through. The ‘Jal Shakti Abhiyan’ launched by Government of India primarily focuses on these strands viz., Rainwater Conservation and Harvesting, Waste Water Treatment and re-use, Installment of Watersheds, Planting Trees and Drinking Water Sanitation.

Water Sanitation deals with the processes that dwindles the contaminants present in the water before its disposal in the outer environment only after proper inspection of source their geographical conditions. Various physicochemical processes have been implemented off late, which handles water coming out of industries starting with removal of suspended matters to disinfection through RO membrane systems. The process may range from simple sedimentation and decantation to use of UV technology, depending upon the concentration of contaminants. The treated waste water can be used for agriculture, soil conditioning, energy generation, etc.

Wastewater treatment has not been taken seriously for a long time, reason being the dubiety behind its infrastructure and installment but it’s high time that we rethink about this and take necessary measures to ease it down as the potential risk factor is increasing at a staggering rate. The problems and complications associated with fresh water availability is projected to hit up drastically by the end of this decade, affecting every socio-economic factor to face the consequences.

Some of the techniques that can be carried out to prevent contamination of water are:

• Use of new technologies to treat waste water
• Controlling the discharge of industrial wastes into nearby water sources.
• Preventing contamination of crops with extensive chemicals as their run-off generally outpours into water sources
• Industries, commercial buildings, toilets should not be built near drinking water sources
• Managing water and crops to prevent expansion of vector borne diseases

Chemtex Speciality Limited deals with chemical treatment of water, accepted by leading treatment plants, enhancing waste water process and clarification operations across the world. Application of our treatment chemicals helps in effective removal of harmful micro-organisms, detergents and toxins, nullifying their hazardous effects, reducing foul odor and separating those sediments from the water.

Wastewater Treatment – Domestic, Commercial & Industrial

Mandatory treatment of wastewater is the need of this 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 utilization. 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.

Potable water disinfection by Polyelectrolyte

Polyelectrolyte are specially designed to be used as flocculants and coagulants and sludge dewatering agent in the in the waste water treatment plants. Thus, polyelectrolyte plays an important role in the sludge conditioner. These are generally polymers used for water purification for decades. It is appreciated for its beneficiary nature of coping with problems of slow settling of flocs in water in low temperature, treating soft colored water where they enhances toughness of the flocs and improves its settlement  ability.

Generally, Polyelectrolyte can be differentiated into 3 types based on the charge present on it. These are Anionic Polyelectrolyte, Cationic Polyelectrolyte and Non-Ionic Polyelectrolyte. Flocculation generally occurs due to these charges present on the particles.  In practical cases, charges are present on the impurity particles and electrostatic interaction occurs between these particles and polyelectrolyte.

 Chemtex Speciality Limited manufactures Polyelectrolyte which is a strong cationic radical polymer based coagulant which is specifically designed for partial or complete settling of organics, water soluble matters and suspended solids in the effluent or waste water through electro neutralization and bridging absorption. Bridging absorption occurs when long chain polymers get absorbed on the particles in a pattern such that it forms loops and tails extending some way in the solution. At this stage, particles are said to be restabilized. Absorbed amount must be optimum otherwise enough bridging contacts couldn’t form. This consideration leads to the need for an optimum dosage of the product for formation of bridging flocculation.

This product offered by Chemtex is a high performance flocculant, decolorant, and effective in algae growth inhibition and organics removal.  It can completely replace Alum or PAC.  It usually enjoys a small dosage but can be able to cause big flocs, rapid precipitation and low turbidity residues. Disinfection of potable water with Polyelectrolyte offered by Chemtex can be safely done. It finds applications in variable sectors such as water treatment, textiles, cosmetics, mining, paper making, soil treatment, oil industries etc.
