Industrial effluent is a term used to describe any liquid waste other than that of surface water or domestic sewage. It is created and released by industrial and commercial premises’ such as food processing factories and manufacturing businesses.
Otherwise referred to as ‘wastewater’, effluent will typically flow from the premises into the main sewer network. However, it is incredibly important that it does not enter any rivers, reservoirs, streams or lakes unless it is treated first. Along with wastewater, industrial effluent will also include contaminants such as;
- Fats, Oils and Greases
- Chemicals
- Detergents
- Heavy Metal Rinses
- Solids
- Food Waste
To keep in line with increasingly strict legislation and regulations, it’s important that as a business owner, you ensure that any effluent your processes produce is treated properly before it enters the natural environment.

Why Is It Important to Ensure the Proper Handling of Industrial Effluent?
The proper treatment of industrial effluent is vital simply because of the damage that it can cause to the environment, animals and human health. It’s also important to note that it is the responsibility of manufacturers to ensure that any effluent they produce is treated correctly otherwise they could face costly fines and even premises closure.
How Can Industrial Effluent Be Treated?
Industrial effluents are diverse and the amount of contamination they contain all depend on the processes that produce them. This means that any wastewater treatment processes must be properly adapted to fit both the industry and the plant.
Effluent collection and treatment is completely adaptable to your production needs and will allow you to benefit from the services of a water treatment plant without needing to make big investments. The wastewater will be collected and transported to an external plant for disinfection, filtration and then treatment. Throughout this process, the effluents will be sampled and analysed to determine the suitable treatment to guarantee compliance with regulatory requirements.
