CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL PLANT
The ITALSISTEM chemical-physical plant for the purification of waste water is a system that combines chemical and physical processes to remove contaminants from polluted water. It is particularly effective for the treatment of industrial waste water with high concentrations of organic or inorganic substances or suspended solids.
Main components:
1. Pre-treatment: Removal of coarse solids by screening or sieving.
2. Coagulation and Flocculation: Addition of coagulants (e.g. aluminium sulphate) and flocculants (e.g. polyacrylamide) to aggregate the suspended particles into larger flocs.
3. Sedimentation: Separation of flocs (sludge) from water by sedimentation in settling tanks.
4. Filtration: Passage of water through filters (e.g. sand or activated carbon) to remove fine residues.
5. Neutralisation: Adjustment of pH with acids or bases to make water compatible with discharge standards.
6. Advanced treatment (optional): Processes such as reverse osmosis or chemical oxidation to remove specific contaminants.
Advantages:
High efficiency: Removes heavy metals, suspended solids, oils and greases.
Versatility: Suitable for different types of industrial wastewater.
Compact and modular: It can be adapted to the specific needs of the plant.
Applications:
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
Treatment of textile, galvanic or food waste water
Purification of water contaminated by hydrocarbons or metals
In short, a chemical-physical plant is a robust and effective solution for the treatment of complex wastewater, guaranteeing compliance with environmental regulations and the reuse of water resources.
