Water is one of the world’s most precious commodities, used to sustain life, grow crops and facilitate many industries. Finding ways to reuse water is of great benefit environmentally.
Waste water is a term generally employed to describe water that’s been used or affected by humans. The water comes from a huge number of sources including washing machines, showers, toilets, storm drains and septic tanks. Rainfall that’s fallen onto roofs, roads and pavements is also described as waste water as it may well have become contaminated with human products like diesels, oils and metals.
Waste water should be treated before it can be reused, although a staggering 90% remains untreated causing no end of trouble globally. Water pollution is the biggest problem originating from untreated water and it can lead to serious illness as well as environmental issues. Treating used water is a job for the professionals and in many developed countries large sewage works have been set up just for this purpose. Some businesses and homes treat the water onsite using a sceptic tank but this results in high levels of ground pollution not to mention foul odours that need to be dealt with.
There’s numerous ways to treat waste water but the most important part of the process is removing the contamination and making it clean, unpolluted water once again. This process takes time and involves firstly removing human waste and lumps from the water. The nitrogen levels and loads then need to be reduced which is often done used a bioreactor. Separation of the resulting sludge gives clear water which is then treated to give clean, odourless water which can be used for a huge variety of purposes – agriculture, vehicle washing and even drinking if the waste water has been treated to the necessary extremely high hygiene standards.
