Brief Description
Description : | This technology employs a combination of oxidation, gravitational settling, chemisorption, UV irradiation, and ozonation to treat wastewater for reuse in agriculture. It utilizes chemically modified natural adsorbents for effective contaminant removal and includes disinfection stages to ensure safe water quality. The system emphasizes sustainability by reusing generated sludge for the production of construction materials, supporting a “waste to wealth” approach. It is suitable for areas facing water scarcity where treated wastewater can be reused for irrigation.
Key Features: • Integrates oxidation, settling, chemisorption, UV, and ozonation processes • Uses chemically modified natural adsorbents • Flow rate around 1000 LPH with scalability potential • Includes disinfection through UV and ozonator units • Enhances adsorbent life through backwashing and rinsing • Promotes reuse of sludge for construction materials |
