What Is Wastewater Pretreatment? | Hydro-Chem Systems, Inc.

The term “pretreatment” means the treatment of wastewater by commercial and industrial facilities to remove harmful pollutants before being discharged to a sewer system.

Objectives Of Pretreatment

By placing controls and/or limits on levels of certain pollutants in wastewater discharged to your sewer system, you:

• Prevent interference with the operation of your wastewater treatment plant
• Prevent the introduction of pollutants that could pass through your wastewater treatment plant untreated into the receiving body of water
• Improve opportunities for reuse or recycling of wastewater and sewage sludge
• Prevent the introduction of pollutants that could cause health or safety problems to the public or the environment

Hydro Chem Systems, Inc. is fully capable of designing systems which incorporate wastewater pretreatment plans as well as facilities which already have them in place. Contact Us for more information!
