What Is Wastewater Recycling ?
We all know that wastewater has been a source of pollution because of urbanization, city development, industrialization etc. Now a days almost 80% of global wastewater is being discharged and wasted . This affects the whole biology includes aquatic ecosystems, and disrupts the fundamental web of our life support systems. The highest ratio of countries for contaminated water supplies and impacts are developing and low-income countries. There are various dessert area countries and regions where water insufficiency has affected the development of country. In these case, Water recycling and purification is most effective solution for that.
Waste water coming from Industries, Chemical factories, Biological firms contains methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (NO2) ,heavy metals like chromium ,toxic waste which necessitate efficient and quality purification.These impacts fisheries, livelihoods and the food chain and health impacts due to waterborne diseases. If we properly manage wastewater then it could be source of water, fertilizer, energy and other necessary valuable things.
Recycling is a term basically applied to metal cans, bottles, and papers, water can be recycled as well. Water recycling is a process where we reuse treated wastewater for beneficial purposes like agricultural, in industry, and restoring a ground water basin (called ground water recharge). Water recycling provides resource and financial savings. We have such great techniques for water recycling, which purify of recycle water in different ways. They are electroplating, electrochemical process through different chemicals like copper plating, chromium plating ,zinc plating ,nickel plating, cadmium plating etc. These are techniques comprise of more than 60% waste water produced in industries whereas we have scientific equipment which are capable to sludge clots for absolute Wastewater Recycling. We have tested equipment’s like Classifiers, RO plants ,Oil-water Separators purify million gallons of water every day.
A common type of recycled water is water that has been reclaimed from municipal wastewater, or sewage. The term water recycling is generally used synonymously with water reclamation and water reuse.For that we use RO plants,Purifiers.
Another type of recycled water is “gray water“.Gray water is reusable wastewater from residential, commercial and industrial bathroom sinks, bath tub shower drains, and clothes washing equipment drains. When reusing gray water for irrigation use of non toxic and low-sodium soap and personal care products is required to protect vegetation.NSF International has established a Wastewater Treatment task group on onsite residential and commercial gray water treatment systems. EPA and CDC brought together agency and academic experts to explore the science available for addressing high-priority regional needs in the areas of:
-
Gray Water Exposure Risk to Humans and Ecosystems
-
Risk Management Options for Gray Water
-
Water Scarcity
-
Trends in Water Use
Through the natural water cycle, the earth has recycled and reused water for millions of years. Water recycling, though, generally refers to projects that use technology to speed up these natural processes. Water recycling is often characterized as “unplanned” or “planned.” A common example of unplanned water recycling occurs when cities draw their water supplies from rivers, such as the Colorado River and the Mississippi River, that receive wastewater discharges upstream from those cities. Water from these rivers has been reused, treated, and piped into the water supply a number of times before the last downstream user withdraws the water.Planned projects are those that are developed with the goal of beneficially reusing a recycled water supply.
