Benefits of Industrial Waste Management

The benefits of implementing the methods for industrial waste management go beyond government requirements and compliance.

1. Minimization of Waste
The new production techniques and other complementary methods are considered more effective, which ensures less waste. Also, they use fewer raw resources to save money on the storage/disposal of industrial waste.

2. Recycling of Wastes
The recycling of waste is a popular method which ensures easy disposal of non-hazardous trash/items like aluminium, paper, electronic equipment, plastic, non-tempered glass, etc.

3. Creates New Job Opportunities
Waste management is crucial to creating new job opportunities for workers possessing various skills. Recycling and reuse generate at least nine times as many jobs as landfills and incinerators and possibly up to 30 times as many jobs.

4. Stay Compliant
Online industrial waste management ensures maintaining compliance with business and environmental safety regulations imposed by the local, state, or federal government.

5. Cost-Saving Opportunity
The pollution prevention and waste management strategies make the industrial processes and equipment resource-efficient, ultimately offering cost-saving opportunities through efficient raw materials and labour management.

6. Building Community and Public Image
Industrial waste management, which ensures the protection of human and environmental health, builds a positive public image, community relations, and credibility among industries, communities, and regulatory agencies.

Methods & Strategies of Industrial Waste Disposal Management

The units engaged in the process of management of a wide variety of industrial waste streams emitted from industrial plants should use the following methods/strategies, which guarantee safe and cost-efficient industrial waste disposal management.

Methods of Industrial Waste Disposal Management:

1. Immobilization – Immobilization/thermoplastic binding is the physical method/technique used for stopping, solidifying or stabilizing the free movement of contaminants in waste produced by industries.

2. Carbon Absorption – Carbon absorption is the most commonly used method/technique often used for the purification, concentration, or removal of a wide range of components for industrial wastewater management.

3. Distillation – It is a thermal separation process used during vacuum distillation. It allows for separating impurities for industrial wastewater management through heating at approx. 85°C in a vacuum during the evaporation process.

4. Grinding, Shredding, and Compacting – Grinding, shredding, and compacting are the methods used to break down the organic waste into smaller pieces and further facilitate it into fertilizers and safe composting used for crop/food production.

5. Use of Landfills – Landfills is the most common waste management method used for dumping the non-compostable, non-hazardous, and non-recyclable wastes into landfills/small areas and later buried in the earth.

6. Neutralization – Neutralization is a chemical method used for treating excessively acidic or alkaline waste streams with very high or low pH values.

7. Equalization – Equalization is the most common method which retains the wastes in a basin to discharge the effluents in a fairly uniform manner (i.e., according to pH, colour, turbidity, alkalinity, B.O.D), etc.

Strategies of Industrial Waste Water Treatment:

1. Industrial Waste Segregation – Industrial waste segregation is the strategy used for the segregation of recyclable waste from bio-degradable, solid, hazardous, and other wastes like glass, plastic, paper, etc.

2. Source Reduction – Source reduction is an innovative strategy used for reducing the amount of any consumables, pollutants, and contaminants which is a threat to public health and the environment.

3. Treatment of Industrial Waste – Stabilization, technological modification, reformulating, physical, chemical, biological, and industrial sewage treatments are some of the treatment strategies used to reduce toxicity before the final disposal of contaminants and hazardous substances from industrial waste.

4. Recycling of Industrial Waste – Recycling of industrial waste is yet another strategy used for collecting, processing, and reusing materials that could otherwise be handled as industrial waste.

5. Vacuum Filtration – Vacuum filtration is one of the most famous strategies which uses a typical vacuum filtration unit for dislodging/dewatering the solid sludges into a thin layer.

Best Practices for Industrial Waste Management

The practices for industrial waste management are not the same for every business setup. Have a look over the best practices opted by organizations producing industrial waste.

1. Employee Training
Employee training of the company is considered among the best practices used for the management of industrial waste.

2. Gauge Waste Management Practices
Consistent gauging into new waste management practices and making necessary improvements is considered the best practice for industrial waste management.

3. Waste Minimization
Waste minimization is the best practice used for addressing the frequency of waste formation through production.

What Industrial Waste Water Treatments are Available?

Given below are some of the prominent industrial wastewater treatments that are available:

Major Industrial Waste Water Treatments

1. Reverse Osmosis (RO)
It is quite popular in industrial wastewater management. It ensures rejection of 99.9% of bacteria, making it the perfect fit for pharmaceutical pure water systems.

2. Ceramic Filtration
Ceramic filter system comprises a porous ceramic filter. This recognized industrial wastewater treatment is known for removing more than 99.9% of bacterial contaminants.

3. Water Recycling Units
These units utilize ceramic membranes and provide filtration at high flows.

4. Nanofiltration
Nanofiltration is an industrial wastewater management facility that pulls clean water out of polluted water by pushing water through a membrane under pressure conditions.

Other Industrial Waste Disposal Treatments

1. Ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration is an advanced industrial waste disposal technique used to remove dissolved and colloidal material under low transmembrane pressure.

2. UV Light Wastewater Treatment
It entails exposing wastewater to UV light in order to inactivate viruses, parasites, and bacteria in the water. It is one of the most useful industrial waste and wastewater treatments.

3. Coarse Filtration
It is employed to eradicate suspended large solids from wastewater. It is considered one of the most effective industrial waste segregation approaches.
