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

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.

Antiscalant Dosing with Chemtex Chemicals

Scale and Corrosion is considered a curse to all industries, be it large or small.

Due to their subjection to water systems, heavy metal installations, industries face a huge annual loss due to these complications as they have direct implications on the production rate and outcome. Formation of scales cause severe metal lining problems, decrease in fluid flow rate, pitting and perforation, pore throats, wear and tear, machinery failure and primarily first stage of corrosion (in most cases).

Antiscalant dosing is preferred over other conventional treatments in counteracting scaling and corrosion. The primary reason being its simplicity and effectiveness over particulate matter deposition and cost efficiency. Most antiscalant chemicals work on adsorption mechanism, where they get adhered to the surface, preventing any interaction between inorganic salts and surface lining, ensuring lesser accumulation, lesser precipitation in the feeding solution, and ensuring prolonged protection.

Chemtex Antiscalant Chemicals can be directly dosed into the feeding system, and reduces the usage of acid usage. The exact dosage rate varies depending upon the severity of scaling, and typical OEM recommendations.

Wastewater Management with Chemtex Speciality Limited

About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms.

Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries.

Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treatment a requirement for its re usability.

About 2000 – 3000 Liters of water is required for one person’s daily food production.

Lack of freshwater supply has compulsively persuaded rural farmers to treat wastewater from all possible sources, otherwise contaminated with domestic and commercial wastes. These effects can be seen on water resources like streams, ponds, tanks, and pipelines, generally contaminated or polluted because of the convergence of urbanization and unplanned utilization. Untreated wastewater utilized for watering system pose a potential risk to wellbeing of both consumers and irrigators, and wastewater sanitation concerns need to be satisfactorily attended.

Wastewater treatment deals with the processes required to decrease contaminant levels present in the water before its disposal in the environment, depending upon the source of water and their geographical conditions. We are witnessing a lot of implementation of physicochemical processes which handles wastewaters starting from simple removal of suspended matters to cleaning of RO membrane systems. The process may range from simple sedimentation and decantation to use of UV technology, depending upon the type of level of contamination. The treated waste water can be used for agriculture, soil conditioning, energy generation, etc.

Wastewater management has been neglected for a long period of time, owing to the confusion related to its infrastructure and installments but the time has come to rethink 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 this decade and every socio-economic factor has to face the consequences.

Water Sanitation and Hygiene; Improving Water, Improving Life!

In recent times, wastewater definition need not any formal introduction, we all know about the what’s’ and the why’s. The question arises for how, where we chug in. Unhealthy for human consumption! No doubt, but deemed unusable, rather not. This water treated safely can have a fair amount of applications.

Wastewater has to be treated before release because it has been adversely affected by domestic, commercial, agricultural or industrial uses, which has serious implications in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries.

Water Sanitation is a process to purify contaminated water which otherwise cannot be utilized further, thereby making it reusable. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, 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, since water is a limited resource.

According to a survey report, about three-fifth of total water in India was found to be toxic and of no use.

Scarcity of freshwater supply has driven urban and rural farmers to treat waste water from all possible sources which is regularly contaminated with untreated domestic and commercial wastes. Immobile places of water, including streams, tanks, and pipelines generally get contaminated or polluted because of the convergence of urbanization and unplanned utilization. Untreated wastewater utilized for watering system poses potential risk to wellbeing of both consumers and irrigators, and wastewater sanitation concerns need to be satisfactorily attended.

Most common practices carried out to prevent water from being contaminated are:

• Safe techniques to use waste water
• Checking the outflow of industrial wastes into water sources like rivers, ponds, etc.
• Preventing contamination of crops with chemicals and or pathogens
• Preventing contamination of drinking water sources
• Managing water and crops to prevent expansion of vector borne diseases

Wastewater sanitation/ treatment are broken into three levels, or in other words, there are three stages of treating waste water.

• One treatment involves the removal of unwanted, suspended or dissolved solids from crude sewage. This treatment traps strong objects and sediments using gravitational force to evacuate suspended solids.
• Another follow up treatment expels the already dissolved organic matter that may have missed out on the first essential treatment. This is accomplished by microorganisms thriving on the organic matter as food, and changing it over to carbon dioxide, water, and energy for their growth and development.
• Final treatment cleans as well as disinfects relatively considerable number of polluting influences from sewage, producing effluent of water through routine chemical treatment.
