OPTIMIZATION OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT TECHNIQUES USING ADVANCED PROCESS INTENSIFICATION STRATEGIES

Mrs. P. B. Sahithi, Dr. P. Raja Rao

Abstract :

Process Intensification (PI) can revolutionize the waste water treatment process and plant design by critical examination and holistic consideration of the process. PI offers safer, cleaner, smaller, efficient and cost effective techniques. PI provides effective and viable solutions to scale up efficiencies of various chemical treatment process. PI not only transforms inefficient plants, but also intensifies the performance of existing equipment to reduce energy consumption to acceptable and sustainable levels. PI can make existing systems more cost efficient through significant enhancements in the performance of a process. This paper presents detailed discussion on fundamentals, mechanism, advantages and limitations of certain PI methods like cavitation assisted water treatment and ultrasonic crystallization with few examples
