Municipal and Industrial
Effective water and wastewater treatment in municipalities requires certain infrastructure to be in place. Efficient and highly reliable treatment plants are required to produce safe drinking water and for remediation of wastewater generated in various catchments, in a cost effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
The major instruments available to municipalities for the management of wastewater are wastewater treatment plants, discharge permits for placing limits on what may be discharged, and discharge tariffs for financing the treatment and for providing incentives and penalties for users of the system.
An optimal strategy that involves all the above mentioned instruments is required for the municipality to serve all its clients while meeting the treated effluent discharge standards set by the relevant authorities.
This complexity associated with industrial wastewater complicates the treatment process of the wastewater. Industrial effluent can often be accommodated up to a certain point without compromising the quality of the treated water. Beyond that point it may compromise the ability to treat the wastewater to the required quality standards.
