What are the Reasons for Water Treatment?

Water treatment helps keep the water safe for people, the environment, and industry use by removing harmful toxins and bacteria that may be lurking in the water. 

water treatment

Safer Water for People 

People often don’t think about where the water they use comes from. The water must undergo an entire water treatment process for it to become safe to use. A few things water treatment can remove from the water include: 

  • Bacteria 
  • Parasites 
  • Viruses 
  • Chemicals 
  • Minerals 

Since these are not ideal for humans to encounter, water treatment can remove almost all the potentially harmful substances found in the water. Treating the water helps prevent sickness and disease.  

Discharging Water into the Environment 

Wastewater needs to be treated before being discharged back into the environment to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If the water does not meet the standards of removal prior to discharging into the environment, companies can face hefty fines and penalties until the effluent water meets the standards. When wastewater is treated properly, it is often cleaner than the water source it is being discharged into shown by turbidity and microbiological tests.  

Industrial Water Treatment 

With a high mineral content found in water, problems arise for use in industry. The minerals can build up in components of equipment, like boilers, resulting in scaling. Scaling can lead to several issues including: 

  • Reduces Performance 
  • Decreases energy efficiency 
  • Increases operational costs 
  • Shutting down equipment for cleaning 

Water treatment processes can be used to remove minerals so, these problems occur less frequently allowing for smooth operation and a more efficient plant.  

Water Treatment Techniques 

By using a combination of the following techniques, source water or wastewater can become equally usable for use in industry, human use, or environmental discharge.   

  1. Coagulation 
  2. Flocculation 
  3. Sedimentation 
  4. Filtration 
  5. Disinfection 
  6. Distillation

Simple Clean

The Benefits of Tidal SimpleClean

If you have been in the market for multi-purpose green degreasers, Tidal SimpleClean is the perfect product for you. This alkaline solution, primarily composed of 2-butoxyethanol (5%-10% by weight) and a proprietary surfactant blend (1%-5% by weight), efficiently removes mold, mildew, grease, and dirt from a variety of surfaces, such as grills, stovetops, sinks, carpets, engines, and vehicles.  

How to Use Tidal SimpleClean 

Because Tidal SimpleClean is a powerful cleaner, spot test it on a small portion of the desired surface before applying. Refer to its Safety Data Sheet for guidelines on how to properly and safely use the product, as well as what to do if spills or eye/skin contact occur.   

The degree to which Tidal SimpleClean should be diluted depends on what surface is being cleaned. For surfaces such as grills, ovens, sinks, wheels, and concrete, it can be used without dilution. For stovetops, toilets, and general cleaning, it should be diluted to a 1:10 concentration. For vehicles, vinyl floors, stainless steel, carpets, and walls, it should be diluted to a 1:30 to 1:50 concentration. Finally, for glass, mirrors, and windshields, it should be diluted to a 1:150 concentration. 

Fully wet down the surface to be cleaned. Apply Tidal SimpleClean and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Then, rinse off. Do not allow Tidal SimpleClean to dry on the surface before rinsing. Additionally, heavily soiled surfaces may require scrubbing prior to rinsing.

Recycling

The History of Recycling

 What is Recycling? 

Recycling is converting or repurposing waste into a new, usable product, allowing its lifespan to provide a variety of uses—eliminating waste. 

The Origin of Recycling  

Due to a lack of resources, this method, recusing/recycling became a common practice. It is said that there is no particular person who can take credit for the process of recycling but the earliest forms of this practice date back to ancient times. With the timeline dating back several centuries ago, the evolution of recycling is drastic.  

Throughout history, different areas of the world have gone about recycling a bit differently due to resources and relativity. 

A Brief Recycling Timeline 

While it is possible to go on and on about the history of recycling, this breakdown will give you a gist of the adaptation and evolvement. It is important to keep in mind that recycling at times (i.e., during war) had to be utilized due to shortages. It is also important to keep in mind that depending on the time and the circumstances, the popularity of recycling fluctuated. 

Origins and Types of Recycling  

  • Recycling of paper 
  • Everyday essentials  
  • Waste removal/processes

The late 1600s-1800s 

  • Upcycling recycled cloth and rags 
  • Collection of waste, metals, and of course, paper

The 1900s 

  • Recycling bins introduced, Green Movement, First Earth Day 
  • Recycling laws were introduced (via Congress due to waste becoming a developing issue) 
  • Reuse and recycling programs  
  • Sortation plants for waste 
  • The trend of single-use items 
  • Incentives for recycling

In Recent Years

  • Reusable bags and cups 
  • Paper products begin to replace plastic 
  • The link between waste and climate change 
  • Recycling of electronics 
  • Banning of plastic bags in certain states 
  • Continued awareness of waste, and the impact it has on the environment 

Why Should You Make A Change? 

You should recycle because it’s a choice that will pay off in the long run! There is no doubt that the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (a phrase created during the 1900s) hold weight and their payout is worth it!
