Wastewater from health-care establishments is of a similar quality to urban wastewater, but may also contain various potentially hazardous components like, Microbiological pathogens, Hazardous chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Radioactive isotopes, Related hazards etc. The basic principle underlying effective wastewater management is a strict limit on the discharge of hazardous liquids to sewers, as recommended.
IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
- pathogens can spread disease, adversely affect the biodiversity
- microbial resistant strains to antibiotics can spread resistance vertically and horizontally
- persistent, non biodegradable, hydrophilic chemicals pass wwtp and pollute water bodies
SES has considerably taken this as a challenge and has much experience in the treatment of sanitary wastewater specifically generated from hospitals. The major differences between municipal facilities and stand-alone hospital treatment facilities are very different.
Specific Treatment Process for Hospital waste water treatment
The complications associated with the treatment of hospital wastewater is very high and costly. SES has developed a unique treatment system focusing on safe and efficient operations. Based on semi-automated system integration, operation costs are kept to monitoring and data recording. SES prioritizes its equipment efficiency and longevity. Being very selective of process components directly supports modest equipment system costs.
The process is capable of treating small, medium, and large flows specific to hospitals and medical clinics. It provides the owner with a solution to every complication associated with treating hospital wastewater from removal of plastics, treatment of biological wastes, and separation of solids from water, micron particle filtration, and final sterilization of effluent. The SES process also addresses solids removal and de-watering to its final incineration.
