The importance of industrial wastewater treatment plants:

The industry considers waste water treatment to be a necessary necessity when wastewater affects the receiving waterways clearly and visually, or when the facility receives public acceptance in exchange for its efforts and costs. The industry must attempt to treat wastewater At the lowest cost, enabling them to reach the appropriate limits for discharges to the receiving waters. This requires exploratory studies and experiments. Pre-planning will save time for making the right decisions. Conversely, failure to plan to reduce the cost of water treatment can lead to a sudden need for quick resolution, leading the industry to a decision to stop production.

Public awareness of pollution control was weak during the first half of the 20th century and witnessed a radical shift at the beginning of this century to an evolution in the public’s concerns regarding the preservation of the environment. The real interest of the community in the long term environment is required to achieve a change in the general concept of environmental conservation. This will also require drastic changes in our political, social, legislative and economic trends in the field of industrial pollution control as well as recent technological developments.

And to prevent any health damage that may affect the receiving water stream. Wastewater must be well treated before pumping to comply with the requirements of specific laws for the characteristics of water for drainage on watercourses. At the planning and development stage, high priority should be given to standards for the protection of land and water resources, the safety of aquatic habitats in waterways, the protection of marine life from pollution and the protection of public health.

The establishment of industrial wastewater treatment plants aims to support the protection of the environment and public health. The pollution resulting from the industrial establishments not only harms the environment but also affects the health of individuals. Therefore, most of the actions that industrial establishments can take to reduce their harmful impact on the environment lead to reducing the effects. Harmful to the health of workers in the facility and communities living in the surrounding areas affected by different emissions from factories. Thus, it can be said that the efficiency of industrial wastewater treatment plants leads to the protection of the environment and the protection of workers and public health.

Second: Environmental development project for the establishment of industrial waste water treatment plant The production of gas wells in the province of companies BP (BP) and Rashid Petroleum and LNG Gas Liquefaction:

With reference to the above subject, which is considered one of the most important objectives of environmental conservation and support for projects of a developmental nature, which aims to resist all aspects of environmental pollution, has been requested a piece of land with an area of four acres in the city of Edco, LNG for gas liquefaction to set up an industrial wastewater treatment plant. The drilling and operation of the gas wells is unique at the level of the lake, where the gas extraction produces mixed water with gasoline and oil, which is required to be disposed of. Treatment and purification, which allows them to spend them, according to scientific measurements and ratios according to the Environmental Law No. 4 of 1994, as amended.

Where the companies are currently transferring wastewater to other sites outside the governorate because of the lack of treatment plants in the governorate, or the disposal of water illegally and unhealthy, thus endangering the public health of citizens to the dangers of liver diseases, kidneys and cancer as a natural result of exposure of groundwater (Egypt’s wealth of water) Resulting from leakage of contaminated water to soil, groundwater and agriculture.

1 – The importance of industrial wastewater treatment plants:

Public awareness of pollution control was weak during the first half of the 20th century and witnessed a radical shift in the early 1970s to an evolution of public interest in environmental conservation. The real interest of the community in the long term environment is required to achieve a change in the general concept of environmental conservation. This will also require drastic changes in our political, social, legislative and economic trends in the field of industrial pollution control as well as recent technological developments.

And to prevent any health damage that may affect the receiving water stream. Wastewater must be well treated before pumping to comply with the requirements of specific laws for the characteristics of water for drainage on watercourses. At the planning and development stage, the protection of land and water resources, the safety of aquatic habitats in rivers and watercourses, the protection of marine life from pollution and the protection of public health should be given high priority.

In 1994, the Egyptian government amended the laws regulating water drainage in Law No. 4.

2 – Common methods of wastewater treatment: The degree of treatment required is determined by setting the treatment objectives for the project and reviewing all the laws and regulations concerned and finally comparing the characteristics of the wastewater with the requirements of the laws. The alternatives available for treatment, disposal and reuse are then identified and evaluated and the most appropriate alternative is chosen. Pollutants are disposed of in wastewater by either physical or chemical methods.
