wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)

A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a facility that cleans used water from homes, businesses, and industries before it is released back into the environment. The process involves removing solids, dirt, and harmful substances through a series of mechanical, biological, and chemical treatments. Initially, large debris is filtered out, then microorganisms help break down organic waste. Finally, the water is disinfected to kill germs. This careful treatment helps protect water sources, public health, and ecosystems, ensuring the water is safe and clean for future use or natural flow.
