Definition
Wastewater treatment plant : a place where water is
made safe to use , wastewater is filtered several
.times and the germs left in the water is killed
:The types of wastewater treatment plant are
Sewage treatment – treatment and disposal of
human waste.
Industrial wastewater treatment – the treatment of
wet wastes from manufacturing industry and
commerce including mining, quarrying and heavy
industries.
Agricultural wastewater treatment – treatment
and disposal of liquid animal waste, pesticide
residues etc. from agriculture.
Radioactive waste treatment – the treatment
and containment of radioactive waste
Sewage Treatment
is the process of removing contaminants from
wastewater and household sewage, both runoff
(effluents) and domestic. It includes physical,
chemical, and biological processes to remove
physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its
objective is to produce a waste stream (or treated
effluent) and a solid waste or sludge suitable for
discharge or reuse back into the environment. This
material is often inadvertently contaminated with
many toxic organic and inorganic compounds.
Industrial wastewater treatment
covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat
waters that have been contaminated in some way
by anthropogenic industrial
Most industries produce some wet waste although
recent trends in the developed world have been to
minimize such production or recycle such waste
within the production process. However, many
industries remain dependent on processes that
produce wastewaters
Agricultural wastewater
treatment
relates to the treatment of wastewaters
produced in the course of agricultural
activities. Agriculture is a highly intensified
industry in many parts of the world, producing
a range of wastewaters requiring a variety of
treatment technologies and management
practices.
Radioactive waste
is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is
usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear
fission. However, industries not directly connected to
the nuclear industry may produce quantities of
radioactive waste. The majority of radioactive waste is
"low-level waste", meaning it contains low levels of
radioactivity per mass or volume. This type of waste
often consists of used protective clothing, which is
only lightly contaminated but still dangerous in case of
radioactive contamination of a human body through
ingestion, inhalation, absorption, or injection
