Industrial waste water treatment covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to release into the environment, or its re-use.

Toxic waste, chemical waste and hazardous waste pose substantial or potential threats to public health and the environment.

Waste waters from large-scale industries such as oil refineries and chemical plants can contain gross amounts of oil and suspended solids – most solids can be removed using simple sedimentation techniques, with the solids recovered as slurry or sludge. Very fine solids, with densities close to the density of water, pose special problems.

In such cases, filtration or ultra filtration may be required, including flocculation and the use of inorganic salts or the addition of poly electrolytes.

Industrial manufacturers should do everything possible in their production processes to minimise or recycle waste prior to releasing it into the sewage system or environment. This is where Metsi Water Solutions can assist industry, by developing tailor-made waste management solutions for companies at lower waste treatment costs.
