Wastewater Treatment
Advancing Wastewater Treatment: AVK Valves Southern Africa’s Role in Sustainable Solutions
As industries and municipalities continue to expand, effective treatment infrastructure becomes essential for managing waste, preventing contamination, and supporting water reuse initiatives.
Understanding Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment involves the removal of contaminants, solids, and harmful chemicals from sewage and industrial effluent before returning clean water to the environment or reusing it for non-potable purposes.
Key components include:
- Primary Treatment: Large solids and sediments settle while oils and grease are skimmed off.
- Secondary Treatment: Biological processes break down organic pollutants using bacteria and aeration.
- Tertiary Treatment: Additional filtration removes remaining impurities, ensuring water meets environmental discharge regulations.
- Disinfection: Chlorination, ultraviolet (UV) exposure, or chemical treatments eliminate pathogens before release or reuse.
- Through proper wastewater treatment, communities and industries reduce pollution, protect ecosystems, and contribute to a circular water economy.
