Wastewater Treatment Plants and Water Reuse Systems

As global water resources continue to decline, wastewater treatment and reuse systems have become not only environmental necessities but also economic and strategic needs. While wastewater treatment plants ensure the safe disposal of wastewater in both industrial facilities and residential areas without harming the environment, reuse systems make it possible to reuse the treated water efficiently.

Yeditepe Treatment & Equipment offers modern, eco-friendly, and economical solutions for wastewater management, protecting both nature and operational resources.

What Are Wastewater Treatment Plants?

Wastewater treatment plants are engineering systems designed to treat contaminated water generated by domestic or industrial activities in a way that prevents harm to the natural environment. Treatment is achieved through a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes.

Wastewater Treatment Stages:

• Pre-Treatment: Screens, grit chambers, and oil separators are used to remove large particles and floating materials from the water.
• Primary Treatment: Settling tanks are used to remove suspended solids by sedimentation.
• Secondary (Biological) Treatment: Microorganisms break down organic matter in the water. Systems like activated sludge or MBBR can be used at this stage.
• Tertiary Treatment: Hard-to-remove substances such as phosphorus and nitrogen are eliminated using advanced filtration, membrane systems, or chemical dosing.

Difference Between Industrial and Domestic Wastewater

• Domestic wastewater is generally more homogeneous and rich in organic content.
• Industrial wastewater varies by sector and often contains heavy metals, toxic chemicals, or high temperatures.

Yeditepe Treatment & Equipment develops tailored treatment solutions for each wastewater type, offering custom-designed systems for each facility.

What Are Water Reuse Systems?

Water reuse refers to treating wastewater to make it suitable for non-potable applications (cooling, irrigation, cleaning, etc.). The primary goal is to reduce freshwater consumption by enabling reuse where drinking water quality is not required.

Technologies Used in Reuse Systems

• Sand Filter
• Cartridge Filter
• Activated Carbon Filter
• Ultrafiltration (UF)
• Nanofiltration (NF)
• Reverse Osmosis (RO)

These systems can be used alone or in combination, depending on the characteristics of the wastewater.
