wastewater treatment plant
A wastewater treatment plant is a facility that cleans used water from homes, businesses, and industries to remove pollutants and contaminants. The process typically involves multiple stages: first, removing large solids and debris; then, reducing organic matter through biological treatment where microbes break down waste; and finally, filtering and disinfecting the water to ensure it’s safe. The goal is to protect public health and the environment by returning treated water to rivers, lakes, or the ground, minimizing pollution and supporting ecosystems.
