 What is Waste Water?
• Wastewater is any water that has been contaminated by human
use. Wastewater is "used water from any combination of
domestic, industrial, commercial or agricultural activities,
surface runoff or stormwater, and any sewer inflow or sewer
infiltration.
 Why we have treated waste water?
• The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the
suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent,
is discharged back to the environment. As solid material decays, it uses up
oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water.
Techniques

Biological water treatment

Physical water treatment

Chemical water treatment

 Biological water treatment
• When water is used for drinking or cleaning.it should be cleaned so that
there are no contaminants which can effect the human health.for this
purpose ,biological water treatment is used in which microorganisms
especially play an important role. They decompose the waste water
biochemically or they break down the organic material and improve the
quality of water. So they it can be used domestically.
 Biological waste water divided into two
categories
• Aerobic process
• Anaerobic process
 Aerobic process
• In this processs, bacteria degrade or eat organic matter and convert it into
in carbon dioxiode which can be used by plants for their growth . Oxygen
is used during aerobic process.
 Anaerobic process
• In this process ,fermentation process is used to ferment the sludge or
waste at specific tempreture.Oxygen is not used in this process.
 Physical water treatment
• In this method physical methods is used in cleaning the waste water and
making its quality better. In this method no chemical and biological
process involved.There is a prominent method for physical water
treatment called sedimentation.
 Physical water treatment
• Sedimentation:
• Sedimentation is a process of suspending out the insoluble
heavy particles from waste water. When the insoluble material sattle down
at the bottom of the water .pure water is removed.
 Physical water treatment
• Filtration
Is used to filter out the contaminants. Special kind of filters are
used to pass sewage or waste water due to which the insoluble prticles or
contaminants are separated.some waste water contain grease and oil on there
surface,they can remove easily from the surface.
 Chemical water treatment
• As the name shows to clean the water or sewage.
• Chemicals are used.
 Chemical water treatment
• Chlorination
Most commonly used chemical is chlorine and the method in
which chlorine is used called chlorination.chlorine is oxidizing chemical
used to kill the bacteria which decomposes water by adding contaminants in
it.
 Chemical water treatment
• Ozone
Another oxidizing disinfectant called ozone.
Ozone is used to purify the waste water .these chemicals are very useful as
they disallow the bacteria to reproduce in the water thus making the water
pure.
