Waste Water Treatment and Management

Introduction

As the population of the world is increasing, the need for coming up with sustainable technology is also intensifying. The world population is growing at a rapid rate and therefore proper arrangements should be made to accommodate its needs. Water is considered as a fundamental need of all the human beings and other living beings. It is equally important as is food. The use of water is not just limited to living things. It is required by a number of industries and businesses. Even the human beings require it for purposes other than consuming. At present, a large number of populations, especially in the third world countries is suffering from shortage of clean drinking water.

In this paper, Auckland, a city of New Zealand is chosen as for the case study regarding management and treatment of waste water. Perhaps, in New Zealand, waste water is found to be the biggest waste by volume, with almost 1.5 billion liters of it being discharged in the environment on a daily basis.

Waste water is the water that is degraded in quality due to addition of impurities. The greater the consumption of water, the greater is the production of waste water (Hewitt et.al, 2011, pp. 6267-6276). This study will focus on the issue of waste water management and treatment and come up with outcomes that can help in addressing this issue.

Ozone diffusion technique is one of the most advanced methods of water treatment. In this process, Oxygen, ozone and/or carbon dioxide are diffused into the water to be treated that results in the formation of a solution that is supersaturated. Seair Diffusion Systems is a company that is manufacturing the required equipment for this purpose. Their diffusion technology allows for bubbles of 5 micron size to be created and this in turn allows for the mass transfer of the gas into the water. This method is found to be very productive as well as cost effective.

This technology is found to be very environment friendly and economical, both on the small scales as well as large scales. It associates operating costs that are lower than those of other techniques. Being highly efficient and cost-effective, besides environment friendly, this technology is applicable on all scales with great feasibility (Seair Diffusion Systems, 2013).

Aim and Objectives

The main aims and objectives of this study are as follows:

To research the issue of waste water management and treatment through ozone water treatment in Auckland.

To analyze the current ozone diffusion techniques of waste water management and treatment deployed in Auckland and come up with ideas to increase their efficiency.

To suggest newer and improved methods such as the ozone diffusion of waste water management and treatment in the specified region.

To come up with recommendations that can help in saving water and reducing its wastage in Auckland. These include implementation of the Liquid and Hazardous Waste Code of Practice, development of a ...
