What Is an Industrial Wastewater Survey and Why Is It Important?
Industrial wastewater differs significantly from domestic wastewater and often contains:
- Toxic and hazardous substances
- High concentrations of oils and fats
- Heavy metals
- Dangerous chemical compounds
When such effluents are discharged without proper pretreatment, they can cause severe damage to municipal sewer networks and wastewater treatment plants.
This leads to reduced water reuse quality (for example, in agricultural irrigation) and may result in substantial fines for non-compliant facilities.
A professional wastewater survey allows the facility to:
- Identify pollution sources accurately
- Characterize wastewater composition in detail
- Detect weak points in the process
- Prevent violations and future penalties
- Ensure compliance with environmental standards
Main Components of the Wastewater Survey
- Process and Infrastructure Analysis
- Detailed description of all industrial processes generating wastewater
- Comprehensive mapping of wastewater collection and conveyance systems
- Identification of critical production points impacting wastewater quality
- Wastewater Stream Characterization
- Full chemical and physical analysis of all wastewater streams
