Physical and Chemical Treatment of Effluents

Physico-chemical wastewater treatment is essential for removing contaminants and pollutants from industrial and domestic wastewater.
This process combines physical and chemical methods to ensure efficient water purification before it is disposed of or reused.

Physical-chemical treatment processes:

Coagulation and flocculation:
- Coagulation: Addition of coagulants to agglutinate suspended particles, forming larger flocs.
- Flocculation: Slow mixing that allows the formation of larger flocs that are easier to remove.
Decanting:
- Removal of the flocs formed by sedimentation, separating solids from the liquid.
Filtration:
- Passing water through filter media to remove remaining fine particles.
Flotation:
- Process of separating suspended particles using dissolved air, which causes the particles to float to the surface to be removed.
  See more details in Dissolved Air Flotation System.
