Why it is important to choose a suitable method for wastewater treatment?

80% of wastewater goes back to the environment without treatment causing environmental damage and sickness. 

Chemical Wastewater Treatment

It is the use of chemical reactants to break down pollutants. It is perfect for the wastewater with high chemical toxin content, such as the wastewater from chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing and textile manufacturers. It is also ideal for removing the heavy metals in the wastewater produced from mining. The chemical effluent treatment plants (ETPs) that treat these wastes use chemical treatment methods.

What are the Types of Pollutants that Chemical Wastewater Treatments Remove?

Industries like mining, steel manufacturing, and oil and gas extraction and refining — will produce wastewater with toxic soluble metals. These industries are likely to use chemical treatment.

Contaminants chemical waste management treatments can remove:

•    Dyes: Wastewaters from paper mills and textile plants.
•    Paints and solvents.
•    Metal residues:  wastewater often includes cobalt, iron, lead, aluminum, copper, mercury, nickel and zinc.

Chemical treatment breaks down the metals’ chemical structures and makes them harmless to the environment.
