In case you might have forgot, water is extremely important! It is necessary for our survival and something all humans, plants, animals, among others, use throughout their daily lives. Without this water - and clean water at that rate - we simply would not be able to exist nor would our plants, animals, and other resources. Pretty scary thought, right?

Yet, we are only human. And humans, along with all of the other living things mentioned above, contaminate the water here on earth, sometimes without even being aware of it. This is a major reason why the process of treating wastewater is crucial so that we can continue to make use of all the water on earth. And like the bioprocessH2O slogan states, we fully believe that everyone should get the most out of their water.

If you didn't catch it from the title of the blog, wastewater is pretty much described as dirty water. In the most basic terms, wastewater is water that has been used or touched by something or someone before.

So, how exactly does one clean this dirty water that is produced? More importantly, how are people or businesses able to make their dirty water clean enough to be able to consistently reuse it especially in industries such as the food & beverage?

To answer these questions - it is essential to understand the process of wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment is dedicated to the process of reducing and removing the contaminants from the dirty water. In addition, the treatment works toward changing the water back into reusable water and is then able to be returned into the environment. When conducting the wastewater treatment process, there are typically three main stages that are used.

The three main wastewater treatment stages are:

Primary Treatment:

• Dissolved Air Flotation System (DAF)
• Screens
• Jet Aeration
• Oil & Water Separators

Secondary Treatment:

• Membrane Bioreactor Systems (MBR)
• Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR)
• Jet Aeration

Tertiary Treatment:

• Membrane Filtration Systems
• Reverse Osmosis Systems
• Bio-disc / Sand Filter
• BioTRIPURE
• Water Reuse
