Sewage Treatment
Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from households and industries, to protect public health and the environment. It involves several steps: screening out large debris, settling solids in large tanks, and biological processes where microorganisms break down remaining organic matter. The treated water is then disinfected to eliminate pathogens before being released into rivers or reused for irrigation. Residual sludge is processed further for safe disposal or use as fertilizer. This essential service ensures clean water and reduces pollution, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and community.

Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from households and industries, to protect public health and the environment. The process typically involves three stages: primary treatment, where solids settle out; secondary treatment, where microorganisms break down organic matter; and tertiary treatment, which further purifies the water, often by filtering or using chemicals. After treatment, the cleaned water can be safely released into rivers or reused, while solid waste is processed and disposed of. This essential process ensures that we manage our waste responsibly and maintain clean water resources.

Sewage treatment is the process of purifying wastewater from households and industries before it is released into the environment. It typically involves several stages: screening to remove large debris, sedimentation to separate solids from liquids, and biological processes where microorganisms break down organic matter. Finally, disinfection methods, like chlorination or UV light, kill harmful pathogens. The treated water can be safely returned to rivers or used for irrigation, while the solid waste, often referred to as sludge, can be further processed for disposal or as a fertilizer. This process helps protect public health and the environment.
