Wastewater Recycling

Among the legal regulations for environmental protection, the measures taken to protect water resources come first. Preventing unconscious consumption of water resources, reducing wastewater generation and purifying the resulting wastewater, reusing treated wastewater for garden irrigation, cleaning, etc. are some of these measures. Purifying all or a large portion of the generated wastewater with advanced treatment applications and reusing it as a water source within the same business is also gaining importance. By reusing wastewater, existing water resources are protected and a new source emerges to meet water needs.

Wastewater recovery is the obtaining of water that can be reused after wastewater treatment. Wastewater recovery methods support water reuse and sustainable water resource management. Some wastewater recovery methods are as follows:

• Biological Treatment: It is a method that cleans wastewater with the help of microorganisms. Biological treatment is used to remove organic substances, nitrogen, phosphorus and other pollutants from wastewater. It is also possible to recover the treatment sludge formed after biological treatment.
• Advanced Purification: Advanced purification is a method generally used after biological purification. This process further purifies water using technologies such as ozonization and UV rays.
• Reverse Osmosis: Reverse osmosis is a method in which wastewater is purified by passing it through a membrane under pressure. This method removes organic matter, salts and other contaminants from water.
• Membrane Filtration: Membrane filtration is a method used to filter contaminants by passing water through a membrane. This method includes different filtration technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration.
• Adsorption: Adsorption is the adhesion of water to a material that holds contaminants. This method can be applied using carbon filters or other adsorption materials.
