Did you know that the function of the WasteWater Treatment Plant (WWTP) plays an important role in the mining industry? As you know, mining waste has a negative impact on the environment.
If waste water management is not regulated properly, the environment will be polluted and the risk of disaster will increase. One of the best solutions to reduce these negative impacts is to apply IPAL.
Wastewater Treatment Plant or better known as Wastewater Treatment Plant is a structure specifically designed to remove industrial waste, both biological and chemical, from water.
By implementing WWTP, it is hoped that the risk of water contamination can be minimized so that it can be used for daily activities, such as bathing, washing, or cooking.
Things to Pay Attention to During the Waste Control Process
During the waste control process, mining companies must pay attention to the processing of the tailings liquid fraction, prevent seepage, wind erosion, and prevent the effects on wild animals.
Function, Purpose, and Benefits of WWTP
So, what are the functions, objectives, and benefits of WWTPs? Here's the description.
WWTP function
The Wastewater Treatment Plant functions to treat liquid waste generated from industrial, commercial, and mining manufacturing activities.
- Neutralizes Contaminants
As you know, mining waste contains hazardous toxins that can cause physical, chemical, and biological contaminants.
Industrial waste toxins can not only pollute water, but also damage the soil, the surrounding environment, and cause health problems. However, by implementing a Wastewater Treatment Plant, this risk can be minimized.
Not only eliminating contaminants, wastewater treatment can also make the environment healthier, water cleanliness is maintained, the air is pollution-free and safe to breathe.
- Maintaining Environmental Sustainability
Thanks to waste water management, the environment around mining is free from toxic contamination that can cause health problems for humans, damage soil structure, and trigger the death of living things, both plants and animals.
- Improving the Quality of Mining Products
Wastewater treatment can produce waste streams suitable for disposal and reuse in the environment. Indirectly, this is effective in increasing the productivity and quality of mining products.
- Reduce Production Cost Biaya
The application of WWTP can be utilized as much as possible to support the production process while reducing production costs.
WWTP Purpose
The main purpose of the WWTP is to filter and clean water contaminated with domestic waste and industrial chemical waste.
Benefits of IPAL
IPAL is not only beneficial for humans, but also has a good impact on the surrounding environment, including animals and plants.
There are a number of benefits of WWTP installation, including the following.
- Treating waste water so that it can be reused according to individual needs.
- Make the water flow to the river clean and suitable for use.
- Effectively keep plants in the soil and water free from death due to toxins.
Thus the information regarding the function of the Wastewater Treatment Plant along with its objectives and benefits.
