Effluent Treatment

Effluent wastewater refers to the treated or untreated wastewater that is discharged from industrial, commercial, or municipal facilities into the environment or a receiving body of water. The effluent can originate from various sources, such as manufacturing plants, wastewater treatment plants, food processing units, and other industrial processes.

The treatment and management of effluent wastewater are critical to protect the environment and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The treatment goal is often to reduce pollutant load and meet regulatory requirements prior to discharge. In some cases, treated effluent wastewater can be suitable for reuse in certain applications, such as irrigation, industrial processes, or non-potable water needs. Implementing effluent reuse can reduce freshwater demand and environmental impacts.

The treatment process may involve physical, chemical, and biological methods to remove or reduce contaminants. If you are in the business of planning and building effluent treatment plants (ETPs) for industrial facilities and municipalities, then MANN+HUMMEL has you covered. These plants may include primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment steps, similar to those in a traditional wastewater treatment plant, and we offer solutions across the full filtration spectrum.
