<strong>Different</strong> <strong>types</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>waste</strong> <strong>water</strong> <strong>treatment</strong><br />

Have we ever given thought about what happens to all the <strong>water</strong> that we use in our day to day<br />

life? If your property is not well connected to the main drainage system, then it’s time for you to<br />

look for alternatives to take care <strong>of</strong> the <strong>waste</strong><strong>water</strong> from your house or your commercial<br />

property. There are number <strong>of</strong> options that one can opt for:<br />

Septic Tanks: The residential septic system consists <strong>of</strong> 2 or 3 chambers which are used to<br />

separate the liquid and solid <strong>waste</strong>. The sewage is held in the septic tank for long enough which<br />

allows the sludge formation <strong>of</strong> the solids at the tank’s bottom. Using the anaerobic digestion, the<br />

sludge is partly broken down and the left out liquid is passed to the soak away system through<br />

the inlet. The liquid is then dispersed into the drainage trench where nutrients, organic materials<br />

and pathogens gets dispersed in the gravel and removed. The remaining <strong>of</strong> the tank needs to<br />

be cleaned on a regular basis.<br />

Cesspits and cesspools: A cesspool is nothing but a holding tank that stores the <strong>waste</strong><strong>water</strong><br />

from your house and holds it until it is removed. It doesn’t treat the <strong>waste</strong><strong>water</strong> but just holds it<br />

for some time which requires frequent emptying <strong>of</strong> the tank. The cesspits can be thought as a<br />

temporary solution to your <strong>waste</strong> problem. The biggest disadvantage <strong>of</strong> this technique is the<br />

size <strong>of</strong> the tank that you need to install.<br />

Sewage Treatment Plants: It is one <strong>of</strong> the best techniques <strong>of</strong> <strong>waste</strong> <strong>water</strong> <strong>treatment</strong>. In<br />

sewage <strong>treatment</strong>, the <strong>waste</strong> is dumped in the plant for <strong>treatment</strong> that can be discharged to<br />

ground<strong>water</strong>. A settlement chamber, biological realm and the final clarification are the primary<br />

components <strong>of</strong> a sewage system. The components can be as separate units or an enclosed<br />

one.<br />

The type <strong>of</strong> system can be categorized under multiple categories, one having a settlement<br />

chamber and one with no such chamber. For systems having a chamber, you need to<br />

periodically clear the solid <strong>waste</strong>s from the tank. While in the systems with no primary chamber,<br />

the solid <strong>waste</strong> is mixed with several bacteria in aeration chamber that allows it to degrade. With<br />

the options available, you can go for one that suits your budget and meets all your<br />

requirements. Now you can treat the <strong>waste</strong><strong>water</strong> with ease and have a clean surrounding.
