Sequencing batch reactor (SBR), Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR), and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) treatment systems enable physical, chemical, biological, and membrane processes to treat an existing waste water into treated and further usable clean water.
These technologies have made it possible to acquire high-quality drinking water as well. For areas without infrastructure, solutions can be provided with container-type treatment and recovery systems.
The transformation of treated wastewater into useable resources is known as wastewater recovery. Waste water is purified using domestic, industrial, agricultural, marine, and coastal wastewater treatment techniques.
Recycling waste water is essential to protection of global natural resources, maintaining environmental sustainability, preventing future water shortages, lowering costs, adhering to regulatory requirements, and most importantly, maintaining human health.

Benefits of Waste Water Recycling According to Usage Area
Waste water recycling systems are practical innovations that improve our world and our lives in many different ways.
Waste water from industrial facilities:
These are places where people consume a lot of different materials. Waste water recycling comes forward for facilities and factories in terms of acquiring high-quality water, avoiding water consumption, protecting natural resources, preserving energy, and lowering the cost of fresh water. It helps increase operational effectiveness, lower expenses, and increase production capacity. Textile waste water treatment and recycling are one of the most significant wastewater treatment systems.
Domestic Waste Water:
The water used in living spaces can be cleaned at high rates and made reusable. Military camps, refugee camps disaster areas, mass housing, holiday villages, hotels, universities, schools, dormitories, shopping malls, construction sites, government institutions, residences, plazas, business centers, social facilities, sports facilities, mosques are areas where domestic waste is high. There are many chemicals in the sewage wastes of all these living areas due to detergents, shampoos, and soaps. After the waste water is recycled, water becomes clean and reusable. In addition, material and moral losses caused by environmental pollution are prevented. Recycled domestic wastewater can be used in applications such as garden irrigation, car washing, and animal feeding.
Agricultural Waste Water:
It is possible to recover water used for irrigation, animal care, agricultural processes, and plant protection. The use of pesticides in agriculture is very high due to irrigation and washing processes. Recycling technologies must be used for environmentally sustainable water management. Thanks to SBR, MBR, MMBR technologies, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus contained in water are recovered. These nutrients are very important for the production of natural fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. In addition, since recovery is also used for irrigation of plants, it is very useful for producing higher quality plants, improving, and increasing the quality of the soil. The productivity of the soil also contributes to our world by providing environmental sustainability. It also provides safe living spaces by preventing erosion, especially in areas with erosion risk.
Marine and Coastal Wastewater:
Polluted rivers and waterways caused by ship waste, transportation, and coastal habitats can be recycled in coastal locations.
Medical Waste Water:
Hospitals, private dialysis facilities, health institutions, private oral and dental health clinics, and practices are places where people congregate. Both water consumption and liquid medical waste generation are extremely high. The presence of viruses and bacteria causes the growth and spread of microorganisms particularly when these liquids are mixed with the sewer without treatment. The growth or spread of viruses and bacteria is minimized by treating the medical wastes. Recycling is extremely helpful to both human and environmental health. In terms of human and environmental health, treatment systems provide a secure living environment.
Rainwater Waste Water:
Rainwater is particularly valuable for natural resource protection, irrigation resource production, groundwater level protection, and pollution reduction, and controlling natural resource consumption is critical for environmental sustainability. Recycling ensures that precautions are taken in the event of climate change. It also leads to cost savings in both households and companies. When installing treatment systems, climate and precipitation should be considered. As a result, it is critical that professional organizations create and project the systems.
Elements of Effective Waste Water Treatment System Design
- The wastewater quality generated by the facility
- The required quality of water in the area where the system will be implemented
- Area of use after the treatment processes
- Lack of access to natural resources
- Living in areas where discharging a waste water is difficult
- Settlements with limited space
- The requirement for additional construction
Riva Engineering evaluates the variables that are beneficial in the overall design of wastewater treatment systems and designs with the most accurate technologies appropriate for the purpose.
Stages of Water Treatment for Waste Water Recovery
Suspended Solids (SS) are the total solids in retained by filters in water and wastewater. High amounts can damage water quality in the receiving environment.
Physical Treatment Method:
It is a mechanical filtering process. Mechanical preparation removes solid particles, suspended toxic substances, organic and inorganic contaminants.
After mechanical purification, the mechanically recovered sieve residues are dried. While the sludge obtained can be used as fertilizer, and solid wastes can be treated by incineration.
Biological Treatment Methods:
It is one of the most efficient technologies for purifying domestic and industrial water. It is subjected to biochemical oxidation, sludge precipitation, and anaerobic wastewater treatment. Microorganisms break down wastewater and eliminate toxic compounds and organic contaminants in this application, which is carried out with the help of biological organisms. Activated sludge systems, biological filters, and activated sludge systems are used for biological treatment. Biological filters use little energy and take up a small amount of space.
Filling, aeration, settling, and discharge activities are carried out using SBR (sequenting batch bioreactor) systems.
Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR) systems are also employed for biological treatment. Biological growth is produced by covering a wide surface area with a large number of mobile biofilms in a vented reactor.
Chemical Treatment Methods:
It is a waste water treatment method using chemicals. They are required in treatment operations where biological treatment is insufficient.
It is a critical process, particularly for the treatment of industrial waste water.
Oil and grease, heavy metals, excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations, and other damaging characteristics are examples of these wastes. It is a process in which the most appropriate design should be created by appropriately assessing the waste water values. Disinfection, neutralization, precipitation, coagulation, flocculation, and pH adjustment technologies are used to remove sludge from the system. In practice, selecting the right chemical is critical for properly cleaning the water.
Membrane Treatment Processes:
The purification process is carried out using filtration technologies through membranes. It is very important to choose the appropriate membrane. Membrane selection and the correct selection of other technologies in system design ensure the quality water. In this application, membrane technologies such as Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), Ultrafiltration (UF), Microfiltration (MF), Nanofiltration (NF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO).
MBR systems are among the technologies that provide the highest quality cleaning process. By combining the activated sludge process and the membrane filtration process, high quality water is obtained. Thanks to MBR technology, there is no need to use a settling tank in some applications.
