Innovative Wastewater Treatment Excellence at Barbin Makina
At Barbin Makina, our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship drives our expertise in the specialized treatment of wastewater. We deeply recognize the intrinsic value of clean water, and with meticulous precision, we optimize processes to minimize water consumption, prevent contamination, and employ cutting-edge methods, including proprietary techniques, to effectively treat polluted water.
The Significance of Water in Chemistry
Water holds profound importance in the realm of chemistry, serving as a vital ingredient in various products, a versatile solvent, a coolant and cleanser, a source of energy in the form of steam, and a force that significantly shapes the collaborative efforts of those engaged with us.
In our operations, approximately three-quarters of water are designated for cooling purposes in our production facilities. This cooling water, carefully assessed and meeting stringent criteria, is returned directly to its source, contributing to sustainable water management. Similarly, wastewater containing inorganic components and limited organic contaminants undergoes thorough treatment, ensuring its safe reintroduction into the environment.
Wastewater Treatment Process Overview
Our dedicated biological wastewater treatment plant is the cornerstone of our commitment to responsible water management. Employing a combination of physical/chemical pre-treatment measures, this plant efficiently addresses water contamination. Various stages in our wastewater treatment process ensure the effective removal of substances hindering biological treatment, fostering the growth of newly generated bacteria.
Key Stages in Our Wastewater Treatment Process
Mechanical Removal: Coarse matter and sand are efficiently extracted through advanced mechanisms like screens and grid chambers.
Neutralization: Acidic and alkaline wastewater undergoes neutralization, preparing it for subsequent biological treatment.
Pre-Clarification: Undissolved and precipitated substances are separated, yielding sludge for further processing.
Intermediate Storage: Buffer tanks equalize the concentration and volume of wastewater, optimizing performance in later stages.
Tower Biology: Utilizing covered towers, this stage enhances bacterial activity through effective mixing of oxygen and wastewater.
Nitrification and Denitrification: Specialized bacteria are employed to degrade nitrogen compounds, with upstream denitrification occurring in the absence of oxygen.
Phosphate Elimination: Precipitation processes effectively remove phosphate contaminants.
Flotation: Gas bubbles attach to sludge flakes, facilitating their removal as they rise to the surface.
Basin Biology: Secondary biological treatment occurs in activated sludge tanks with added oxygen and mixing.
Secondary Clarification: Activated sludge is separated in secondary clarifiers, ensuring the release of treated wastewater.
Sewage Sludge Treatment: Generated sludge undergoes concentration, equalization, and de-watering before responsible disposal.
Advantages of Tower Biology
Compared to conventional basin biology, our tower biology approach offers several advantages:
- Effective oxygen utilization.
- Reduced waste air volume and incineration costs.
- Odor elimination through enclosed design and waste air treatment.
- Up to 70% energy savings due to an efficient injector system.
- Efficient wastewater and sludge mixing without mechanical equipment.
- Low maintenance and reliability due to the absence of moving parts.
- Compact design requiring 50-70% less space.
Our commitment to advanced wastewater treatment mirrors our dedication to safeguarding this invaluable resource, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
