Sanitation involves the supply of potable water and the treatment of sanitary wastewater, with a direct impact on health and quality of life. Furthermore, the proper disposal of liquid waste from businesses and communities is linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda, reinforcing the dimension of public and environmental responsibility.
Due to the high organic load, both river water treatment and sanitary sewage treatment can generate a considerable amount of unwanted foam. In parallel, when there is low treatment efficiency and/or carryover in biological clarifiers, it becomes necessary to accelerate flocculation and sedimentation and maintain the balance of the biological treatment to improve results.
In this segment, flocculants, antifoams, nutrients, and flocculation aids are decisive in sustaining solid-liquid separation, controlling foam, and supporting the performance of biological treatment. By accelerating flocculation and sedimentation and contributing to sludge stability, these inputs help improve removal results and maintain more predictable operations.
