The term “pretreatment” means the treatment of wastewater by commercial and industrial facilities to remove harmful pollutants before being discharged to a sewer system under the control of publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). Industrial wastewaters differ in their impurities: acidic from a plating process, colorings, acids, oils, and fats from food processing, or the presence of organic chemicals, such as pesticides, paints, dyes, or detergents. As industrial processes differ, so do their wastewater impurities. Treatment can be as simple as chemical addition or as complex as integrating multiple unit processes for a complete water treatment system. The solution can be achieved by either an equipment purchase or a service agreement where the end user does not acquire the equipment. Since various combinations and permutations can create the integrated system, the final solution offers the lowest possible combined capital and operating costs over a defined lifecycle.
