Disposing Liquid Waste
Everything You Need to Know
Introduction
Liquid waste is constantly created from residences, commercial sites, industries, and hospitals. Liquid waste, in addition to wastewater, contains harmful matter that can damage the environment in various ways.
All liquid waste, be it from a department store, manufacturing plant, or a hospital, needs to be treated accordingly to ensure safe and secure disposal of the waste.
Common methods of disposal
Dewatering
Sedimentation
Incineratio
Root Zone
Composting
Solidification
Dewatering
Dewatering revolves around the removal of water from liquid waste until only solid matter is left behind.
Once the liquid and solid waste are separated, the water is recycled for reuse and the solid waste is disposed of according to its nature.
Being one of the simplest liquid waste disposal methods, it solely works on non-hazardous liquid waste.
Sedimentation
Sedimentation is a hassle-free waste disposal method which uses gravity to set apart liquid and solid waste.
All it demands is a sedimentation basin, where liquid waste remains up and all the solid waste gets deposited at the bottom of the tank.
This tank can further separate several liquid components from one other. Once the separation is achieved, all types of waste are handled accordingly, and the water is recycled.
Incineration
Incineration is the perfect choice for disposing hazardous liquid waste including wastes with chemicals, acids and bases.
In specially built combustion chambers, high temperature is used to incinerate the liquid waste, with ashes and gases left as residue.
The water that remains after the completion of incineration is free of any pollutant, and can be reused without further treatment.

Composting
Composting is a form of waste disposal that has been with humanity for ages.
With the help of microbes, any organic waste is easily decomposed and converted into compost which is a great source of nutrients for the environment.
It is an environment-friendly practice but with a limited application restricted to organic waste.
Solidification
Solidification is the process in which liquid waste is turned into solid waste with the use of bulking agents.
It is an expensive procedure and may contribute towards greenhouse gas emissions if specific bulking reagents are utilized.
Sawdust, lime dust, and fly ash are some common examples of bulking agents used in solidification.
