WHAT IS WASTE?
Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any
substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective
and of no use. A by-product by contrast is a joint product of relatively
minor economic value. A waste product may become a by-product, joint
product or resource through an invention that raises a waste product's
value above zero.
TYPES OF WATERWASTES?
There are two types of wastewater
First of all, wastewater can be broken down into two broad categories –
sewage and non-sewage.
WHAT IS SEWAGE?
Sewage is wastewater that comes from domestic activities. That includes
houses, public toilets, restaurants, schools, hotels and hospitals. These
buildings all produce a lot of wastewater on a daily basis, which generally
contains urine.
WHAT IS NON-SEWAGE?
Non-sewage covers all other types of wastewater. That includes rainwater
and stormwater from flooding, water from commercial activity like
garages or launderettes and water from industrial plants.
WHAT IS GREYWATER?
In simple terms, grey water is black water without urine, faeces or food
waste. It comes from baths, bathroom sinks and washing machines (for
clothes). While it does contain chemicals and cleaning liquids, it’s much
more suitable for re-use because it’s not pathogenic.
WHAT IS YELLOW WATER?
Finally, yellow water is essentially pure urine. It’s urine from specific
sources which doesn’t have any of the contaminants found in greywater
or blackwater like chemicals, toilet paper, fasces and food particles.
WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION
Industrial sewage: Industrial sewage comes from facilities involved in manufacturing. The processes that
produce industrial sewage span a range of operations, such as pharmaceuticals manufacturing, paper and
textiles manufacturing, chemical processing and oil and gas refining. This sewage usually has a high
chemical concentration.
Storm sewage: Storm sewage consists of the surface runoff that flows into municipal sewers during heavy
rainstorms. Storm sewage often contains dirt, twigs and other debris that screens at sewage treatment
plants must filter out. It may also contain suspended and dissolved solids, organic matter and other
substances it accumulates as it travels over the Earth’s surface.
Mixed sewage: Mixed sewage combines two or three of the single sewage types. Storm sewage may mix
with sanitary sewage on its way to the sewage treatment plant, or a standard sewage treatment plant may
receive an influx of industrial wastewater from a nearby facility.
LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
Below are seven of the most common liquid waste disposal processes:
1. Dewatering
Dewatering works well to compact nonhazardous waste and make it more suitable for disposal. In this
process, the facility generally pumps the liquid waste into a sturdy bag and removes the water, leaving
only solid waste. A landfill typically does not accept free liquid, but the solid, nonhazardous waste can
go to the landfill for disposal. The water receives filtration and treatment as necessary.
2. Sedimentation
Sedimentation is similar to dewatering in that it separates water from solid waste. It uses gravity instead of
centrifugal force to pull the two states of matter apart. During sedimentation, a facility leaves its liquid
waste in a sedimentation basin. As long as liquid waste flows quickly, its velocity is often enough to keep
solid particles in suspension, so the design of a sedimentation basin reduces that velocity. As the
wastewater flows slowly through the basin, solid suspended particles settle to the bottom in a layer of
sludge.
3. Composting
Alternatively, facilities can turn their liquid nonhazardous waste into compost. The
facility first removes the water from the waste, leaving behind organic matter that
contains nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and sodium. Using naturally occurring
microorganisms, the facility can then turn the material into organic fertilizer that will
also contain these beneficial nutrients to help crops and other plants grow.
Compared to many other methods of liquid waste disposal, composting is relatively
inexpensive. It is also exceptionally easy on the environment — even advantageous for
soil and plant growth.
4. Incineration
Sometimes facilities dispose of their hazardous waste by incinerating it. The heat from
specialized furnaces can remove acids, chemicals, oils, rock tailings, slag and other
waste matter, leaving only water behind. There are two types of furnaces used for this
technique:
Fluidized-bed furnace: A fluidized-bed furnace is an industrial furnace that uses
pressure to cause a bed of solid particulate matter or solid-fluid mixtures to behave like
a fluid. These incinerators contain one heated, bubbling bed of sand, ash or limestone
with oxygen pumped in to facilitate heat combustion. Their large size allows for
complete, efficient burning.
Multiple-hearth furnace: A multiple-hearth furnace uses many stacked chambers to
incinerate large volumes of wastes at different stages, all at steady, consistent rates.
Because the chambers are stacked, they are compact and easy to fit into cramped
quarters, and they are also relatively inexpensive to build and install.
5. Root-Zone Treatment
Root-zone treatment is most useful for relatively clean domestic wastewaters like
kitchen water and bathroom shower and sink water. This treatment is a complex method
that sends liquid waste through a sedimentation tank and then through various additional
filtration processes — including, ultimately, the roots of growing plants. The result is
water that meets the necessary standards for release into the environment.
6. Solidification
Liquid waste solidification involves adding binding agents to wastewater until the waste forms a
compact, rigid, easily disposable solid. Many solidification processes use lime ash, sawdust,
cement kiln dust, lime kiln dust, gypsum, phosphate or fly dust to add bulk and rigidity to liquid
waste, or they may use asphalt or cement for added reinforcement. After solidification,
companies can ship the solid blocks of waste to approved landfills for disposal or waste-to-
energy facilities for incineration and energy generation. Solidification often combines with a
process known as stabilization. Solidification alters the waste’s physical properties, making it
harder, stronger or less permeable and enclosing any hazardous contents. Stabilization makes it
less likely for hazardous components to leak into the environment — for instance, by making
them less mobile, soluble or toxic.
7. Disposal
The remaining alternative is to dispose of the liquid waste as it is, often with the
assistance of a professional waste management company. In this case, the facility
collects its liquid waste in the appropriate drums. Then the waste management
company picks them up, transports them and disposes of them according to applicable
state and federal guidelines. This option is particularly appealing for companies that
wish to remain compliant with regulations without investing significant time and
energy into keeping up with them.
Considerations When Choosing Your Liquid Waste Disposal Method
No single waste disposal technique is most effective for every situation. When you
choose a liquid waste disposal method, you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons, assess
your waste generation patterns and disposal requirements and make a decision that best
suits your needs. Below are a few considerations to keep in mind as you deliberate:
Soil formation and stability: The disposal site you’re considering should have stable
soil that can hold waste in place. Softer, looser soils may permit shifting and leaks. If
this is the case in your area, you may need to choose a method like incineration that
bypasses land disposal.
Land space: The availability of adequate land for liquid waste disposal will also
inform your choice. If space is minimal, you may find your disposal possibilities
limited, so you may need to avoid solidification and other methods that would create
massive quantities of waste.
Waste quantity: Similarly, if your facility produces high volumes of liquid waste,
you’ll need to choose a disposal method that can accommodate them. Though
composting is good for the environment, you may not be able to spare the resources for
it if your waste volumes are too high.
Necessary treatment: Some liquid wastes contain minimal impurities and need only
light treatment. Others are heavily contaminated and will require aggressive treatment
before they are ready for disposal. For sanitary sewage and its high biosolid
concentration, for instance, root-zone treatment would be insufficient. Make sure the
disposal method you have in mind is thorough enough to keep you compliant with
regulations.
Well water sources: Look into whether residents in your area use well water. If so,
find out the source of the water supply. You’ll want to make sure your disposal site is
safely far away from the water source.
Surface water sources: Similarly, if a proposed disposal site for your liquid waste is
close to surface water sources, you’ll also need to keep away from those. A leak from
the disposal site could cause contaminated runoff to flow into the surface water sources
and jeopardize locals’ health and well-being.
Water table level: The level of the water table for groundwater is also an essential
consideration. If the water table level is high, disposal sites will need to remain shallow
to avoid contaminating the water.
Cost: Apart from environmental concerns, the expense of liquid waste disposal is also
a significant factor. Evaluate the relative costs of the disposal technologies you’re
considering and determine which will fit best into your facility’s budget.
