Easily Affordable Waste Water Purification System

In order to treat industrial waste water by using electricity as a reagent for purification, a team of scientists has come up with the novel approach. By the help of this system, up to 99 percent of hard to treat organic compounds found in various types of industrial waste water could be removed. This system operates on low electrical power and does not generate secondary waste such as sludge that requires further costly residual waste processing for example: incineration.

The removal of refractory organic compounds remains a costly and challenging process despite the great advances in waste water treatment technologies. According to the researchers of Engineering College Rajasthan their inventions provides would provide an environmentally friendly solution and help to raise the overall standard of industrial waste water treatment. For example: the electronics and pharmaceutical industries may contain high concentration of solvents and mixtures of complex organic substances in their waste water while farmlands may contain high concentration of pesticides or herbicides in their waste water. These organic compounds could be harmful to humans and the environment as well as not biodegradable.

It has been shown by the electro chemical systems that it could achieve complete mineralization of any organic pollutant. It means that by degrading them into water and carbon dioxide, the system can completely remove organic compounds in the waste water. As a pre treatment to an existing waste water treatment scheme, this novel system can also be incorporated. This system operates on low electrical power and the system could also be easily combined with solar power along with other purification methods. For example use of membranes and biological treatments. In order to treat water and waste water, this system has been developed by the researchers.

It does not require chemicals to be physically added into the system. A water purification system has been developed by the scientists of Best B Tech Colleges Rajasthan which is robust, highly efficient and easy to operate for industrial waste water.
