This Water Treatment Facility in Australia Cleans Millions of Liters of Water a Year

Leah McBeyThe Advocate News recently published a thorough report on Tas Water's Ridgley water treatment plant and the day-to-day activities in this facility.
" The team at Tas Water’s Pet River Water Treatment Plant know all about our water habits. They’ve dedicated their careers to keeping clean, high quality water flowing into our homes and businesses around the clock every day of the year, without outages or outbreaks", writes Leah McBey.
Pet River treatment plant follows the proven treatment methods including chlorination, but the biggest challenge is to get the right raw water quality - the turbidity (the number of particles in the water which can make it cloudy).
"The water from the Pet River Dam flows through the treatment plant, where chemicals called ‘flocculants’ attract organic matter into lumps, which are then removed. The particles are dried to form soil, which is carted away to be used for compost. The water drops from the flocculant tanks through layers of anthracite coal, fine sand, coarse sand, and two layers of gravel, which remove finer and finer particles. Once the water is cleaned, it moves to the treated water tank ready for use.", states the article.

Compost fertilizer is an illusion
Definition of the composter Device that performs the function of composting
Definition of composting Destructuring-destruction-elimination of the ORGANIC MATTER.
Organic matter destroyed in a composter This is only a plant organic matter
Author's note In a composting device always remains in the background, a residue of organic material
in the form of a conglomerate earthy and dusty.
This element was immediately baptized compost by deduction of the place in which it
was manufactured
Compost This is done in the composter composting residues.
Origin of composting It's the natural process of elimination of plant waste which is clearly expressed in the
environment of the slot wood.
The technique of composting It was enough to technically reproduce the function of plant organic matter removal in a device: the composter.
The biological parameters of composting The composter doesn't work without the mandatory requirements found in nature. Settings - organic - which operate the process of elimination of organic matter. Composting - organic – settings The hot/cold and wet/dry. These parameters - biological - activate the biodegradation of
plants by an alternation of application to measured dose. Too much of one or not enough and the process is automatically stopped and cancelled.
Why compost The composter eliminates some of the organic matter but never all. The rest is deposited
inside the device known as a residue, a waste.
Compost fertilizer is an illusion
The observation In this residue, this waste, compost are filled all sorts of micro organisms. Human beings
- living-living in this conglomerate but not in live. They feed organic waste in the process
of disintegration. They participate in the destruction of organic matter. But not for all: compost
The residue compost Element out of the composter, indestructible, but which gives the impression of being
close to the soil of productive soil enrichment. From there, given its texture, only there was only one step to determine it as a fertilizer.
A mandatory condition Only the living - food - living - and the residue of the composter is more - alive-. It is mud.
The mud. The mud is the consequence of stopping the process of biodegradation of organic material.
Comparison
- Mud destroyed long-term in time/year.
- Organic matter - alive-is destroyed in the short term between one and two months.
- Organic material in the process of natural destruction produces 100% of fertilizer.
- A muddy organic matter produces barely 0.01% of fertilizer.
Annotation of the author Introduced in the soil organic matter feeds not just by his presence. To do so, must
engage, the famous destructuring-destruction-elimination process. It is a natural process that only works with an essential element that is water. Too much water, not enough water, too little time or for too long a period, all these features will have a negative impact on the power of the Organic fertilization. Farmers around the world have always used manure to fertilize farmland with a render almost insignificant. Chemical fertilizers were very quick proof that they were providing a substantially higher yield than manure.
Conclusion The chicken droppings, manure, compost are absolutely not fertilizer by nature and still
less for a land overexploited in intensive culture.
