Water scarcity in this century is now inevitable, according to the WHO the total percentage of domestic wastewater safely discharged worldwide after treatment is only 55.5%.

This is a very alarming situation keeping in mind that only 3% of water is freshwater and out of 3%, two-thirds of freshwater is present in the form of ice, which means approximately only 1% of fresh water is available for use worldwide.

Even though water encompasses one-third of the entire world 1.1 billion worldwide lack access to water and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year.

While the deficiency of safe drinking water is occurring to be a serious concern for humankind, several innovations are kept on creating to manage these issues.

The wastewater generated from the residence area is known as domestic wastewater and it makes up 10% of total fresh water. which is a major part of fresh water and which should be considered for the treatment.

The treatment of domestic wastewater is not expensive as compared to the other sectors as the pollution load of domestic wastewater is around 350 -500 mg/l which is easily treatable.

What is domestic wastewater?

Domestic wastewater is the water generated from the activity of domestic water like running a tap, flushing a toilet, draining a dishwasher or washing machine, or taking a shower or bath.

This domestic wastewater contains toxic chemicals and different types of pollutants which are very harmful to release without any prior treatment.

There are many domestic wastewater treatment options available in the market, one of the best-selling and highly efficient options is BioTornado which is the number one option for customers because of its exceptional operations and user-friendly design.

Conventional treatment of domestic wastewater: The conventional way of collecting wastewater is through septic tanks, which are usually installed once for the collection of wastewaters, which will be used for the next 10 years or so on.

The Septic tank once filled is dewatered and de-sludge manually but this method is very old and causes major problems like leachate into the ground, affecting the structure of the house and may cause seepage into walls.

The Customers should look for the modern and up to date technology for their house domestic wastewater treatment.

 

Domestic wastewater treatment process

• Preliminary treatment:
  • In this stage there are two steps being carried out and is much more similar to the septic tank operations i.e., screening and grit removal
  • Screening: Large objects like sticks, rags, plastics, etc., are removed using screens.
  • Grit Removal: Sand, grit, and other heavy materials are settled out or removed using grit chambers.
  • The removal of larger objects ensures the smooth operations of domestic wastewater treatment plants ahead.
• Primary treatment:
  • Wastewater flows into sedimentation tanks where heavier solids settle to the bottom forming sludge, while oils and grease float to the surface forming scum. These materials are then removed.
• Secondary treatment:
  • Biological Treatment: Wastewater undergoes biological treatment where microorganisms break down organic matter. This can be done through processes like activated sludge, trickling filters, or constructed wetlands.
  • Aeration: In processes like activated sludge, aeration tanks provide oxygen to support the growth of aerobic bacteria that break down organic pollutants.
  • Clarification: After biological treatment, the water is allowed to settle again, and the remaining solids are removed.
• Tertiary treatment (Optional):
  • Tertiary treatment may include additional filtration, disinfection, or advanced processes to further purify the water.
  • Filtration: Water passes through sand, gravel, or other media to remove remaining suspended particles.
  • Disinfection: Chemicals like chlorine, ozone, or ultraviolet (UV) light are used to kill remaining pathogens.
• Disposal or Reuse:
  • Treated wastewater can be discharged into water bodies like rivers or oceans if it meets regulatory standards.
  • Alternatively, it can be reused for irrigation, industrial processes, or non-potable purposes after further treatment.
• Sludge treatment:
  • Sludge produced during the treatment process undergoes further treatment such as digestion, dewatering, and sometimes incineration or composting to reduce volume and pathogens before disposal or beneficial use.
• Monitoring and Compliance:
  • Throughout the process, the quality of the water is continuously monitored to ensure it meets regulatory standards for discharge or reuse.
