Circular Primary Clarifiers in Wastewater Treatment A circular primary clarifier plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment by serving as the first major step in separating solids from liquid waste. Using gravity, heavier particles settle to the bottom as primary sludge, while lighter materials such as oils and grease rise to the surface. This process […]

Ozonation is a water treatment process that leverages the power of ozone, a potent oxidizing agent, to eliminate various contaminants from wastewater. Traditionally used for disinfecting drinking water, its application has expanded to treat municipal and industrial wastewater. Ozone is particularly effective against bacteria, viruses, and organic compounds, often as a tertiary treatment step to […]

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewater by the removal of suspended matter such as oil, grease, or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank or basin. The released air […]

Sludge Treatment in Wastewater Management Sludge treatment is integral to wastewater management and crucial for protecting public health and the environment. As communities and industries generate wastewater, treating this water to remove contaminants before it is returned to the environment is essential. The sludge produced during treatment contains organic matter, pathogens, chemicals, and heavy metals. […]
