Industrial wastewater treatment

Water and Waste You have all heard that you should conserve water but this may seem odd depending on where you live. In an arid place like the southwestern United States it seems logical to conserve water, but in the Great Lakes region where water appears to be abundant, people are also encouraged to save water. Why are even those with an excess of annual rainfall being encouraged to conserve water? “Water shapes the surface of our planet, and it provided the medium in which life began” (Trefil…

synthetic particles mainly used in personal care products such as facial scrubs, shampoos, soaps, lip gloss, toothpaste. The reason why they are such a threat and area of concern because microbeads are smaller than 5 micrometres in size that most wastewater treatment plant technology does not hold the ability to remove it from the waste steam.

Lakes tend to be better sources of freshwater opposed to rivers because the volume of water is generally much greater than a river, meaning pollutants are heavily diluted to smaller concentrations per volume unit of water. This means different treatment methods can be used, which can save money. Had the source selected in Flint been Lake Huron from the beginning, the concentration of chloride ions would have been significantly lower because the concentration is diluted in a greater volume of…

After her tour of the facilities, she’s presented with three water-filled glass containers and challenged to assign each container to a selection of choices: tap water, traditionally treated wastewater, and purified sewage water. This test is obviously to prove the quality of the facility’s purification process because the purified sewage water is aesthetically the cleanest and purist. After this demonstration, Heffernan was immediately engaged…

10 Observations/Questions 10 Generalized: 1. Observation – Some trees around campus have tags on them stating the species of tree. Question – Why does Manchester tag the trees? Does the tagging of trees affect the trees at all? 2. Observation – One of the trees between Oakwood and the Administration building has had its branches cut/trimmed for aesthetic purposes, I assume. Question – How does the tree respond to this? Can those branches grow back? Or will it remain a nub? 3. Observation –…

They were aware of how toxic the water of the Flint river is but decided to ignore the issue and did not treat the water properly. One of the reasons of why they decided to to switch their water supply from Lake Huron to Flint river was because Flint was declared to be in a financial state of emergency and so they took a budgetary control.…

The quality of the water in the creek was excellent. Even though the water quality in the U-High creek was excellent doesn’t mean that all creeks have great water quality. One way that water can be polluted is through fertilizers and pesticides. This happens because farmers use many fertilizers and pesticides to help their crops grow. Then when it rains, those chemicals can be washed through the soil and into rivers and creeks. If this happens and large amounts of chemicals are washed in the…

When people mention the state of Michigan there is nothing really positive that comes to mind because as a whole, the state is not doing very well for itself. Especially with Flint, Michigan being all over the news because of the unsafe water issue, most people think of it as another issue going on in the already suffering state. People fail to realize that Flint; Michigan was actually a thriving city at one point because it is where General Motors was founded. The nation fails to realize that…
