Water, the foundation of life, is essential for various activities including industrial processes and domestic use. However, water sources are becoming polluted and hazardous due to industrial activities, household use, and other factors. This is where biological wastewater treatment comes into play. This method utilizes the cleansing power of nature to remove organic pollutants from water and support environmental sustainability.
Biological wastewater treatment aims to purify wastewater using natural biological processes. In this method, microorganisms (such as activated sludge, biofilm, etc.) break down organic matter in wastewater into inorganic compounds. This process occurs as microorganisms utilize and metabolize nutrients present in the wastewater. In the final stage, microorganisms are removed from the water through sedimentation, resulting in clean water.
Conserving water sources and ensuring environmental sustainability are top priorities today. Therefore, effective methods for purifying and cleansing water from pollutants are sought after. Activated bacterial technology is a nature-based approach that breaks down organic pollutants in water, enabling purification.
Activated bacterial technology refers to a process where microorganisms (activated bacteria) break down organic pollution in water, converting it into inorganic compounds. This process involves microorganisms using organic matter in wastewater as nutrients, breaking them down into dissolved compounds. Subsequently, a sedimentation process is used to separate dissolved substances from the water. This process ensures the removal of organic pollutants from water.
Activated bacteria transform organic pollution in water into inorganic compounds and are then removed from the water through sedimentation. Systems operating based on sequencing batch reactor (SBR) logic are practical, easy to handle, and economically advantageous for domestic wastewater due to their characteristics.
Activated bacterial technology offers a natural and effective solution for removing organic pollutants from water. Its environmentally friendly, economic, and practical advantages make it a preferred method in biological water treatment processes.
Applications of Biological Wastewater Treatment:
- Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Biological treatment is effective for cleaning wastewater generated by industrial facilities.
- Domestic Wastewater Treatment: It cleanses domestic wastewater, allowing it to return to water sources without causing harm to the environment.
- Agriculture and Food Processing: Used for treating agricultural runoff and purifying water used in food production.
