Ovive’s physico-chemical treatment of industrial wastewater

Physico-chemical treatment of industrial wastewater is an essential process for eliminating or reducing water contaminants from industrial activities. Every day, industry produces large volumes of wastewater, which is particularly loaded with various pollutants: organic matter, suspended solids, chemicals, waste…

Physical-chemical treatment stages

Neutralization
- Neutralization corrects the pH of the effluent to achieve optimum coagulant operating conditions.
Coagulation
- Coagulation involves the addition of a chemical that neutralizes the electrical charges of suspended particles. This facilitates the formation of colloids, larger and heavier clusters of particles containing the contaminants to be eliminated.
Flocculation
- Flocculation aims to form larger flocs through intense agitation.
Separation
- The flocs thus formed and the contaminants they contain are more easily separated in the final separation stage, by settling, flotation or filtration.

Complementary techniques

Adsorption and Disinfection
- Other processes, such as adsorption or disinfection, can complete the treatment.

Benefits and effectiveness of physico-chemical treatments

Physico-chemical treatments accelerate treatment processes, thereby reducing the footprint of treatment plants. They can also be used to eliminate a particular contaminant or, on the contrary, to concentrate an element for subsequent recovery.

Physico-chemical treatments are particularly effective in eliminating suspended solids (SS). These processes can also eliminate part of the organic load, phosphorus and heavy metals present in effluents.

Physico-chemical treatment: a tool for WASTE management

The implementation of physico-chemical treatment in industrial wastewater treatment plants highlights the importance of treated wastewater reuse (TWR) for the sustainable management of water resources. By adopting advanced processes for eliminating suspended solids, organic particles, nitrogen and phosphorus, companies can optimize wastewater treatment efficiency while promoting the reuse of water in their industrial processes.

Environmental and economic benefits

This approach not only helps to protect the environment by limiting the discharge of pollutants, but also generates significant savings by reducing drinking water consumption.

Thanks to advanced treatment technologies, the treated water can be reused in the industry’s production processes, or for other purposes such as watering or cleaning, resulting in significant savings in water consumption.

By separating the contaminants, they can be recovered for appropriate independent treatment, thus avoiding their dispersion in the environment.

By-product recovery

Lastly, this type of treatment has economic potential through the recovery of treatment by-products, such as sludge, which can be used in a variety of applications, for process or material recovery, or as fuel after dewatering.

Integration and enhancement

With Ovive, physico-chemical water treatment is no longer a constraint, but an integrated solution to protect the environment and enhance the value of your business. Our experts offer tailor-made support for each company, depending on the nature of its effluent, the volume to be treated and the specific objectives to be achieved. We also offer precise monitoring of installations to ensure optimum treatment efficiency and anticipate any potential problems.

Reuse of treated wastewater (REUT)

Treated Wastewater Reuse (TWR) with Ovive transforms water management in industry, representing a significant step towards sustainability. By exploiting the potential of physico-chemical treatment, Ovive enables companies to reintegrate a substantial part of their treated wastewater into the production circuit, offering a concrete solution for reducing overall water consumption. This water saving is not only a major economic asset, reducing operational costs linked to the purchase and treatment of fresh water, but also plays a crucial role in reducing the environmental footprint of industrial activities.

Customized approach

Ovive’s expertise in implementing WASTE systems translates into a customized approach that takes into account the specifics of each company, including the nature of the effluent, the volume of water to be treated, and the reuse objectives targeted. Drawing on a full range of advanced purification technologies and processes, we are able to remove a vast array of pollutants, from organic and inorganic matter to chemicals and suspended particles, making water pure enough to be safely reused in industrial or agricultural applications.

Choosing Ovive for the physico-chemical treatment of industrial wastewater also means benefiting from expert advice to explore the REUT potential of your industrial water, while guaranteeing compliance with imposed standards and continuous improvement of your environmental impact.
