Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. [1] This includes the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, and economic mechanisms.
Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment. It is also possible to reuse it.
The first known wastewater management system is located in present day Syria ( El Kowm ). Located in the Fertile Crescent, the Mesopotamian "oasis" shows evidence of wastewater management beginning around 6500 BCE.
Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. [2]
Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment.
Sludge treatment in anaerobic digesters at a sewage treatment plant in Cottbus, Germany. Sewage sludge treatment describes the processes used to manage and dispose of sewage sludge produced during sewage treatment. Sludge treatment is focused on reducing sludge weight and volume to reduce transportation and disposal costs, and on reducing ...
List of wastewater treatment technologies. This page consists of a list of wastewater treatment technologies : Activated sludge model. Activated sludge systems. Adsorption/Bio-oxidation process. Advanced oxidation process. Aerated lagoon. Aerobic granular reactor.
Decentralized wastewater systems (also referred to as decentralized wastewater treatment systems) convey, treat and dispose or reuse wastewater from small and low-density communities, buildings and dwellings in remote areas, individual public or private properties. [1]
Waste stabilization ponds are used worldwide for wastewater treatment and are especially suitable for developing countries that have warm climates. [2] They are frequently used to treat sewage and industrial effluents, but may also be used for treatment of municipal run-off or stormwater.
Moving bed biofilm reactor ( MBBR) is a type of wastewater treatment process that was first invented by Professor Hallvard Ødegaard at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the late 1980s. [1] The process takes place in an aeration tank with plastic carriers that a biofilm can grow on.
