Description

The procedures used to treat wastewater produced as an unwelcome byproduct by industry are referred to as industrial wastewater treatment. After treatment, the industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be recycled, released into the environment's surface waters or sanitary sewers, or both. Vehicle wash bays, workshops, fuel storage facilities, transportation hubs and power generation facilities are examples of industrial applications where oil can enter the wastewater stream. The wastewater must adhere to regional environmental standards because it is frequently released into neighbourhood sewer or commercial waste systems. Solvents, detergents, grit, lubricants, and hydrocarbons are some common pollutants. Water is used in most industrial processes in some capacity. Regardless of whether the water is put back into the natural environment or the sewage system after usage, it must be treated before disposal. Students majoring in environmental science and engineering at the graduate level as well as civil and chemical engineering undergraduates should find this book to be of great use. Consultants in industrial design would also find the book to be very useful.
