Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is an effective process used in treating wastewater, a critical component of industrial hygiene and water treatment programs. It works by dissolving air into water under pressure and then releasing it at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank. The released air forms tiny bubbles that adhere to suspended matter in the […]

Rectangular Primary Clarifiers in Wastewater Treatment In the realm of wastewater treatment , the rectangular primary clarifier is a critical first-stage unit designed to reduce solids and organic loads through sedimentation. This process removes settleable solids and particulate matter before wastewater proceeds to secondary treatment. By optimizing flow distribution and retention time, rectangular primary clarifiers […]

The treatment of wastewater is a vital process for maintaining the health of our water bodies and the environment at large. One of the pivotal stages in this process is flocculent settling, a method used to remove particulate matter from wastewater. This technique relies on the aggregation of smaller particles into larger ones, known as […]

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are a cornerstone technology in modern wastewater treatment methodologies. Characterized by the generation of highly reactive species, particularly hydroxyl radicals, AOPs are designed to address complex and otherwise persistent pollutants in wastewater streams. These reactive species can break down a diverse array of contaminants, from organic compounds to pathogens, thereby reducing […]

Primary treatment of wastewater, also known as mechanical treatment, is the first phase in the purification process of sewage. It focuses on the removal of large and suspended solids through a series of physical actions. At this stage, the wastewater is passed through several tanks and filters which are designed to separate solid waste from […]
