What is water/wastewater treatment ?
Main purpose of wastewater treatment

-. Removal of harmful impurities (COD, BOD, S/S etc. )
-. Removal of color, odor etc.
-. Removal of T-N, T-P
To discharge to river, or to re-use in industries or in agriculture

-. Disinfection of microorganisms
(Coli-form & pathogenic organisms)
-. Destruction of endocrine disrupter (natural and synthetic
chemicals such as Nonyl phenols and its derivatives)
