  2. Effluent decontamination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effluent_Decontamination...

    Continuous flow EDS pass liquid effluent through a distance of heated pipework to sterilise it. The heated pipework is frequently coiled to minimise heat loss and the space required. The length and bore of the heated pipework can vary greatly, depending on the rate of flow of the effluent and the temperature that the pipework is heated to.

  3. Leachate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leachate

    As liquid enters the landfill cell, it moves down the filter, passes through the pipe network, and rests in the sump. As collection systems are planned, the number, location, and size of the sumps are vital to an efficient operation. When designing sumps, the amount of leachate and liquid expected is the foremost concern.

  4. Waste treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_treatment

    Waste treatment refers to the activities required to ensure that waste has the least practicable impact on the environment. In many countries various forms of waste treatment are required by law. In many countries various forms of waste treatment are required by law.

  5. Sewage sludge treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_sludge_treatment

    This liquid requires further treatment as it is high in nitrogen and phosphorus, particularly if the sludge has been anaerobically digested. The treatment can take place in the sewage treatment plant itself (by recycling the liquid to the start of the treatment process) or as a separate process.

  6. Waste autoclave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_autoclave

    A waste autoclave is a form of solid waste treatment that uses heat, steam and pressure of an industrial autoclave in the processing of waste. Waste autoclaves process waste either in batches or in continuous-flow processes. In batch processes, saturated steam is pumped into the autoclave at temperatures around 160 °C, or 320 °F. [1]

  7. Waste management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management

    Health issues are associated with the entire process of waste management. Health issues can also arise indirectly or directly: directly through the handling of solid waste, and indirectly through the consumption of water, soil, and food. [2] Waste is produced by human activity, for example, the extraction and processing of raw materials. [3]

  8. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_wastewater...

    A centralized waste treatment (CWT) facility processes liquid or solid industrial wastes generated by off-site manufacturing facilities. A manufacturer may send its wastes to a CWT plant, rather than perform treatment on site, due to constraints such as limited land availability, difficulty in designing and operating an on-site system, or ...

  9. Fecal sludge management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sludge_management

    Fecal sludge is defined very broadly as what accumulates in onsite sanitation technologies and specifically is not transported through a sewer.It is composed of human excreta, but also anything else that may go into an onsite containment technology, such as flushwater, cleansing materials and menstrual hygiene products, grey water (i.e. bathing or kitchen water, including fats, oils and grease ...
