Choose effective water processing devices for the primary stage in water treatment

The primary stage of the wastewater process removes the majority of coarse particle matter, like stones, sand and gravel, using filtration equipment. This process removes around half of the solid particle matter, reduces the biological oxygen demand (BOD) and removes 10 percent of present oxygen and nitrogen.

I recommend: PumpStoreUSA.com provides equipment for processing water like bar screens, grit traps and grit pumps for effective waste water treatment. Thomex sells primary filtration equipment to help initiate the second phase of wastewater treatment.

Use wastewater process equipment process to help break down organic material

The second stage of wastewater treatment involves stabilizing ponds and lagoons by slowing, and in some cases suspending, the growth rate of certain organic matter. During this stage, sludge technologies and trickling filters allow some organic matter in the wastewater to remain an energy and food source for microbial organisms, while the rest of the matter is oxidized into carbon and water.

I recommend: AppliTek has trained water process engineers to assist you with analyzing treated wastewater before releasing it back into the environment. Challenge Technology manufactures and sells respirators used to identify and treat industrial wastewater.

End the wastewater treatment process with disinfection

The disinfection of community wastewater is necessary to ensure safe, portable water supplies and healthy lakes and rivers. Disinfection process tanks help control the large number of microorganisms present in sewage treatment facilities, which are linked to waterborne disease outbreaks.

I recommend: Metcon Sales and Engineering sells a variety of water disinfecting systems. Tristel Technologies Limited features the well-known Stabilised Chlorine Dioxide (SCD) based disinfectant, Purogene, and other water disinfection and decontamination products.
