Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Plant in Industrial Parks

Published on by in Academic

Does anyone have any information about decentralized wastewater treatment plants in industrial parks for wastewater recycling/reuse?

Has it been implemented anywhere?

  1. Yes, I know of associates that have built "Engineered Wetlands" that use the treated wastewater for water features and backup water for fire support pond, and then have engineers that have designed Standalone systems for clusters in an industrial park with tertiary quality effluent discharging to stream or in one case ground water recharge.

  2. I have 30+ years experience with decentralised water and waste water treatment are commonly used in Australian mining industries where industry is often located some distance from municipal facilities.  I have also seen a waste water treatment facilities such as sewer mining projects for sporting field irrigation in capital cities and Singapore has one in an industrial area.

  3. for your question, yes it was and being done with great success 

    you may reach us at Ayala water & Ecology

  5. We are a non-profit algae production trade association with some researchers and producers  co-located at wastewater treatment plants having good results removing 90% N and 75% P.

    We are interested in facilitating small pilot tests of growing algae in wastewater or secondary water for potential co-products.  If interested contact: barry@nationalalgaeassociation.org

    1. Plant biodiversity is no vocation to purify wastewater pollution. It's as if we were asking a human swallowing wastewater pollution.The plant, like all living humans on Earth, needs food to grow. This food swallowing provides many energy elements/components. But unfortunately since chemical agriculture, these elements/components are impregnated with chemical molecule.

      The body of certain living takes part of the absorbed mass and rejects him still turned in the form of waste. 

      The plant cannot absorb fluid by its root principle and this includes all plants.

      A liquid that contains elements/components energy dissolved. Some of these elements/components will be eliminated by the energy need. 

      Unfortunately since the advent of chemical agriculture, these elements/components are impregnated with industrial chemical molecule.

      All alive whatever will keep around him, in his body, a part of these harmful components, when a part will be rejected in various forms: evapotranspiration, loss of water, waste, urine to, etc.

      These harmful components eventually saturate the body that hosts them and drive him to his own death.

      We can therefore consider that 'intelligence' that uses living plants to clean polluted waters, practice a criminal act against humanity.

      If the algae are part of life on our planet, they have a role to play in the eco system of the Earth. The algae live in an aquatic environment that communicates with other aquatic environments in which a living grows to feed the living. 

      A crime against life.

      What surprises me most today is the ingenuity of man to destroy the - organic - which it belongs and he needs to live. the man is really the biggest predator of humanity

  7. Decentralised water and waste water treatment are commonly used in Australia where industry is often located dome distance from municipal facilities.  MAK Industrial Water Solutions (www.makwater.com.au) manufactures packaged systems that are often exported where system design and quality of manufacture is important to the end user.

    1. Thanks because your contribution. But I ask this question for my research on this field in the university, not for a real project. but anyway thanks.

    2. Dear Thomas Martens 

      Thank you for ​sharing your ​contact details ​with Mr. Iman Dorri.

      ​However, if you ​would share ​additional ​details about ​solutions (​products and ​services) for ​the issue, ​others who have ​similar problem ​could see it ​and benefit ​from it.  ​

      Best regards,

  9. In the Dutch city of Terneuzen they have a MBR installation that treats the effluent from the communal waste water treatment plant. The MBR effluent is used as process water for a factory of DOW Chemical. 

  11. We have seen several "constructed wetlands" at industrial parks for commingled sanitary and low strength industrial wastewater treatment. In fact, at one facility in New York State the constructed wetlands has been configured to preserve greenery and the effluent goes into ponds that are full of local wetlands habitat. The local schools use these effluent ponds as part of the ecology studies in their school curriculum inasmuch as they are a park like setting. This is a totally decentralized approach to wastewater treatment.

  12. During my industrial employment in the Chemical Industry with several production units, for the most of units emitting persistent or toxic pollutant various pretreatment processes have been developed and applied, like wet oxidation for "cracking" highly concentrated, persistent pollutants, membrane filtration for enhenced product recovery ( as well as lower degree of pollution), reactive extraction, distillation, but also biological pretreatment for special effluent streams by special microbial mixed cultures.Very important and useful is the analysis of production processes with the target, to optimise or to replace them by modern, water saving, lower polluting alternatives. Our latest successfull project is the removal of a heterocyclic intermediate from a special effluent strem in petrochemistry by immobilised mixed cultures.

  13. Yes. It is not uncommon in the US to have some level of industrial waste treatment prior to sewer. Many times, even larger residential developments have to install at least basic aeration systems for primary treatment prior to disposal.

    1. Thanks because of your reply. But I want to know more about recycling and reuse of industrial wastewater, not just pretreatment. 

  15. The treatment of industrial wastes tends to be very specific depending on the nature of the waste. Pretreatment and then controlled disposal to sewer is the generally preferred method as the trade effluent is then diluted with domestic sewage which aids the treatment process. If the industrial site is not connected to the main sewer system then a dedicated plant can be made to work subject to strict controls and the water recycled for industrial use. Chennai has two large RO plants, producing high quality industrial process water, but these are fed with water from one of the city's sewage treatment plants.

  16. To design a system which was capable of treating each and every type of trade effluent, would require tight controlling of what was going into the system and may even require a level of pre treatment before reaching the works, i.e. at source. If your intention is to use the water for irrigation, much like a discharge to a soakaway, this would require a permit. Roof top and surface water reuse may be a better option.

    1. I agree you that generally roof top and surface water reuse may be a better options, but in countries located in arid and semiarid regions like middle east, I think wastewater recycling/reuse are better options.  

  18. I have Clarus Fusion factory manufactured treatment plants. Biological treatment for Grey and black water. Benefits are 100% reuse of the effluent grey water for irrigation and can be connected to the system for flushing toilets. Very low power consumption. Please see www.maskamwater.com 

  21. I am aware of "Industry specific" recycling. Most were using pre 1950,s technology. An unexplainable zeal for separating compounds and using chlorine to kill the very microbes that allow your immune system properly function.  In case some are not aware nature has ALL the organic compound biodegrading microbes in its inventory.  Home, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, and any industry can be bioremediated in-situ and reused on the spot for their needs.  There will never be an acceptable level of any thing. 40 years of testing and zero pathogens were found. All metals were chelated into their elemental/nutritional state.  In addition the O2 content goes through the roof.  Scientists know using chlorine is a crime against humanity.  Why is chlorine used in a swimming pool? Think about it.

    1. Thanks. But I didn't get the relation of your statement with my question.

  23. Eco-industrial Parks (EIPs) are good examples for what you are seeking. The USA and Europe, in particular Germany, have EIP's where WWTPs co-exist in a symbiotic way with industrial and biogas plants. There were approx. 140 EIPs globally in 2015, and many of these had WWTPs. Please google EIPs  

  24. Industrial wastewater recycling is another level of complexity

    In-plant recycling is done by the industry for their needs and under their responsibility

    to recycled it for parks gardening it required higher control and quality.

    If you can select less risky industries (food…) and to ensure in-plant pretreatment it may be done. The QA must follow the gardening water regulation.

  26. Hello this is the idea that runs the most right now and this is the craziest studied. wastewater contain pollution. The recycling without purification treatment deep, efficient, is a crime against humanity. 

    The problem of wastewater put in now 50/60 years service have no effective sewage pollution. Their only action is the filtration which of course generates residues which ien b fast are dipserses in the environment in one form or another. 

    the dissolved pollution contained in wastewater, chemical, it is discharged into the environment and pollute the soil, the sub soil and groundwater.

    2. I can understand your worry. But at the first the treatment solutions for wastewater recycling/reuse is not restricted to filtration and other processes like activated carbon, membrane bioreactor , reverses osmosis and etc are involved. secondly the water scarcity especially in arid and semi arid countries is tense and they don't have any other option except recycling and reuse of treated effluent. and finally as you probably know, nowadays there are lots of ways for management of residues. so they are manageable.

  29. Germany had good experience in this subject. Attached the Wastewater Decentraliztion National Framework for Jordan. We are in the phase of Institutionalising this concept in Jordan, with the help from German experts and funded by DAAD.

    1. Can you please advise the incoming WW quality and targeted treated water parameters .

    2. Muna Hindiyeh I have a question. the aim of this project is recycling/reuse or just reduction of the level of wastewater pollution?  

    3. Thanks a lot because of information.

    4. probably a good case study to look at in this field is the Saudi Arabia Industrial Cities (Jubail and Yanbu) regulations and managment system for industrial wastewater treatment and reuse.
