Chemical-physical

Chemical-physical purification plants are used for the removal of pollutants that are generally poorly biodegradable, such as phosphoric nutrients, surfactants, phenols, etc. The treatment takes place through the addition of specific additives, under particular pH conditions, which react with the pollutants, rendering them insoluble and favouring their removal through coagulation, precipitation or neutralisation. As with traditional biological plants, we aim to provide optimal solutions from a technical and operational point of view, guaranteeing the removal of pollutants with limited investment. A classic chemical-physical plant consists of the following treatment steps: 

Insolubilisation of metallic salts in a basic or acid environment 

Coagulation

Final filtration

Flocculation

Sedimentation / decantation

Dewatering and sludge disposal

In the first phase, the salts present in the dissolved form are made insoluble, generally turning them into hydroxides. The subsequent dosing of the reagents favours the flocculation of the suspended particles, favouring the formation of flocs; a polyelectrolyte can be added for better sedimentation. The final separation section aims to clarify the water by separating the sludge, which settles at the bottom of the decanter, from the purified water. The latter are sent to a neutralisation section and final refinement treatments with tertiary treatments, while the collected sludge is sent to a dedicated treatment.
