Introduction:
Industrial facilities face complex challenges in managing wastewater generated from production processes, due to the wide variation in pollutant types and concentrations across different sectors.
Rival Water provides advanced, customized treatment systems designed to meet each facility’s specific needs while ensuring full compliance with strict environmental regulations.
Industries Requiring Industrial Wastewater Treatment:
Food and Beverage Industry
Metal and Steel Plants
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Manufacturing
Paper and Textile Mills
Oil and Petrochemical Industries
Each sector generates wastewater with a unique chemical profile, requiring specialized treatment solutions.
Technical Characteristics of Industrial Wastewater:
High concentrations of organic pollutants (BOD – COD)
Elevated levels of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and zinc
Presence of oils and grease
High temperatures or unbalanced pH levels
Toxic or complex chemicals that are difficult to treat biologically
Main Stages of Industrial Wastewater Treatment:
1. Physical Treatment:
Oil separation using API systems or DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation)
Removal of suspended solids via sedimentation or filtration
2. Chemical Treatment:
pH neutralization for chemical balance
Heavy metal precipitation using chemical agents
Coagulation & flocculation for aggregating fine pollutants
3. Biological Treatment:
Applied when biodegradable organic matter is present
Activated Sludge or MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) systems used in food and pharmaceutical industries
4. Advanced Treatment:
Activated carbon filters to eliminate odors and fine organic compounds
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for handling persistent chemicals
Reverse Osmosis (RO) as a final polishing stage for high-purity water
