Advanced Wastewater Treatment Workflow and Contaminant Removal Efficiency

1. What is Wastewater Treatment?

Wastewater treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment or reclaimed for reuse. Wastewater originates from various sources, including municipal, industrial, agricultural, and medical activities. If left untreated, it can pollute water bodies, severely impacting human health and ecosystems. Once treated, the water meets environmental quality standards, ensuring the safety of water resources. Furthermore, treated wastewater can be repurposed for various applications, such as irrigation and vehicle washing.

It is fair to say that wastewater treatment is an essential activity in the face of rising water pollution. Thanks to modern treatment solutions, we can effectively eliminate toxins, bacteria, and other contaminants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment or reclaimed for reuse. This is an indispensable effort in protecting human health and ecosystems, while ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

2. Overview of Wastewater Treatment Systems

In essence, a wastewater treatment system is a strategic integration of individual technologies into a comprehensive workflow, specifically engineered to address the unique wastewater challenges of each business.

For instance, if you require medical wastewater treatment for facilities such as hospitals, medical centers, or clinics, the AAO-MBR hybrid technology is an ideal solution. This advanced biological treatment system is currently one of the most widely adopted technologies across the healthcare sector.

A treatment system is a dynamic process; it is adaptable to specific needs rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. An efficiently designed and high-performing treatment system must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Present-day Performance: Effectively treats wastewater according to user requirements, ensures effluent meets regulatory standards, and maintains reasonable installation and operational costs.

  • Future-proofing: Adapts to fluctuations in treatment demands, including changes in flow rates, wastewater composition, regulatory updates, and chemical requirements. This proactive approach helps avoid the high costs of total system replacement or major equipment upgrades.

3. Basic Components of a Wastewater Treatment System

To accurately determine the components of a treatment system, it is essential to analyze the specific characteristics of the wastewater and the discharge standards regulated by the authorities. Basically, a wastewater treatment system includes:

  • Sedimentation Tanks & Bar Screens: Used to remove suspended solids throughout the treatment process.

  • Water Pumps: Used to control and regulate the flow of wastewater during various treatment stages.

  • Chemical Dosing Systems: Used to facilitate coagulation, flocculation, and precipitation processes to remove organic and inorganic matter, fine suspended solids, or heavy metals

  • Filtration: Applied to remove remaining suspended solids from the wastewater. The selection of filtration equipment depends strictly on specific discharge standard regulations.

  • pH Adjustment: Performed during the chemical treatment stage. Adjusting the pH level is essential to ensure the maximum efficiency of chemical reactions throughout the treatment process.

  • Control Panel (Electrical Control Cabinet): Used for the automated control and operation of the entire treatment system.

The components above fulfill the requirements of a basic wastewater treatment system. However, for enterprises with more demanding treatment needs, additional technologies or enhanced features may be integrated into various stages.

For instance, in the food and beverage or fruit juice industry, the system must focus heavily on organic matter removal. Therefore, careful consideration and investment in specialized components for the biological treatment stage are crucial.

4. Common Pollutants Removed During Wastewater Treatment

Our wastewater treatment systems are specifically engineered to eliminate the following contaminants:

  • Heavy Metals: Primarily found in effluent from metallurgy, electroplating, and mining activities. If left untreated, these metals accumulate in the environment, causing persistent pollution and posing severe health risks to humans and aquatic ecosystems.

  • Pathogens: These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. Untreated wastewater can become a vector for waterborne diseases, leading to outbreaks of cholera, bacterial infections, hepatitis, and other infectious conditions.

  • Nitrates and Phosphates: High concentrations of nitrates and phosphates can increase the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) in water bodies, triggering rapid algae and plankton growth. This leads to eutrophication, depleting dissolved oxygen levels and creating "dead zones" where aquatic life cannot survive.

  • Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): High BOD levels in wastewater deplete the dissolved oxygen available in water bodies, severely threatening the survival of aquatic organisms.

  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Untreated TDS can harm aquatic life, damage irrigation systems, and reduce crop yields. Furthermore, dissolved solids can leach into groundwater sources, posing long-term risks to human health.

  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS): TSS reduces oxygen levels in the water, adversely affecting aquatic species. Additionally, high TSS can lead to sedimentation, clogging, and foul odors within piping and treatment equipment.

  • Synthetic Chemicals: This category includes hazardous chemicals that can cause endocrine disruption and other severe health issues in humans and wildlife. Examples include pesticides, dioxins, DDT, PCBs, and other toxic chemical compounds.

Our wastewater treatment systems are rigorously designed to remove and minimize these contaminants, ensuring the protection of both the environment and public health.

5. Basic Wastewater Treatment Process

The operational workflow of a standard wastewater treatment system generally consists of the following stages:

Preliminary Treatment Stage

  • Wastewater enters the system and passes through bar screens (trash racks) to remove large debris and solids.
  • Collected waste is separated and disposed of properly, typically through landfilling or other compliant disposal methods.
  • Wastewater is then pumped from the collection tank to the sedimentation tank for further processing.

Primary Treatment Stage

  • Wastewater flows slowly into the primary clarifier (sedimentation tank). Here, lighter substances such as oils, fats, grease, and plastics float to the surface and are removed by skimming.
  • Organic solids and sludge (such as fecal matter, paper fibers, and food particles) settle to the bottom of the tank.
  • The settled sludge is pumped out, thickened, and decomposed through a dedicated treatment process.

Secondary Treatment Stage

This stage involves two key biological processes:

  • Aerobic Treatment: In the aeration tank, air is continuously injected to provide an optimal environment for aerobic microorganisms to grow. These microorganisms consume organic matter in the wastewater, converting it into heavier particles (flocs) that are easier to remove.
  • Anaerobic/Final Sedimentation: The wastewater flows into a secondary clarifier (final settling tank), where the heavier solids settle to the bottom. Sludge from this stage is collected and combined with primary sludge for final processing.

A portion of the sludge from this stage is recycled back to the aeration tank to maintain a healthy population of aerobic microorganisms for effective wastewater treatment.

Disinfection Stage

After passing through the sedimentation tank, the wastewater proceeds to the disinfection tank. Here, disinfectants such as Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) or specialized bleaching agents are added to completely eliminate any remaining pathogenic microorganisms. Finally, the treated effluent, meeting all required standards, is discharged into safe receiving bodies—typically local ponds, lakes, rivers, or canals. In certain cases, the treated water can be reclaimed for various purposes, contributing to water conservation and environmental protection.

Other Specialized Treatment Stages

Sludge and solid waste generated during this process can be managed through various methods, including landfilling, composting for fertilizer, or incineration for energy recovery. Furthermore, depending on the specific industry, specialized treatment may be required to remove heavy metals or complex organic compounds. This ensures that the final effluent strictly complies with Vietnam’s National Technical Regulations for key parameters such as BOD, TDS, and TSS.
