Water Treatment for the Chemical Industry

MITA solutions for chemical industry wastewater

We have seen how substances dissolved in chemical industry wastewater are often derived from organic synthesis and are, therefore, very often biodegradable.

For the degradation of such pollutants, MITA Water Technologies offers an extremely simple but effective solution: the Biorulli® biological oxidation system with rotating contactors. Biorulli® “biodiscs” are composed of numerous plastic discs, which are alternately immersed and brought back into contact with the air: the oxygen in the environment stimulates the formation of a flora of aerobic bacteria which, once immersed, degrade the organic matter into easily removable sludge.

In addition, wastewater produced by this type of industry is often treated with chemical and physical treatments. Two MITA solutions successfully fit downstream of such treatments for separating the sludge generated (depending on the quantity and quality of the effluent): the Flowpack lamella-pack decanters and the aforementioned Biorulli® biodiscs.

Finally, for the final filtration of suspended solids in quantities comparable to tens of mg/l, one of the most efficient solutions remains free-fiber cloth filters: mechanical strength, very high particle separation yield, energy use limited to the cloth backwashing stages.
