What is a Wastewater Treatment System and How Does it Work?
For industrial companies producing wastewater as part of its process, some type of wastewater treatment system is usually necessary to ensure safety precautions and discharge regulations are met. The most appropriate industrial wastewater treatment system will help the facility avoid harming the environment, human health, and a facility’s process or products (especially if the wastewater is being reused). It will also help the facility curb heavy fines and possible legal action if wastewater is being improperly discharged into a POTW (publicly owned treatment works) or to the environment (usually under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, or NPDES, permit).

What is a wastewater treatment system?
A wastewater treatment system is a system made up of several individual technologies that address your specific wastewater treatment needs.
Treating wastewater is rarely a static process, and a wastewater treatment system that is engineered to accommodate fluctuations in treatment needs will go a long way in avoiding costly replacements/upgrades down the line.
An efficient and well-designed wastewater treatment system should be able to handle:
- process variations in contamination and flow
- variations in water chemistry needs and required chemical volumes adjustments
- possible changes in water effluent requirements
