Know the industrial wastewater treatment types you'll need

Although individual states most closely regulate your wastewater treatment requirements, least, each state must follow EPA guidance at the very least. Therefore the EPA is a good place to start in your search for wastewater treatment information.

I recommend: Look into the EPA's pretreatment options that your business can try to reduce the hazardous effects of your wastewater. With these methods, you may set up your own wastewater treatment system and avoid fees associated with wastewater treatment services. For companies that eliminate sludge, look into the EPA's regulations on the wastewater treatment of biosolids, also called sludge.

Buy your own wastewater treatment systems to save money over time

Instead of hauling your industrial waste to the wastewater treatment plant, why not treat your waste onsite? Several companies provide wastewater treatment equipment. You just need to know where to look.

I recommend: Water and Wastewater offers a directory of wastewater treatment tools, such as equipment and chemicals. Wastewater Treatment Equipment also maintains a directory of companies who sell wastewater treatment systems.
