Lõpppuhastusjaam

Lõpppuhastusjaam refers to a wastewater treatment plant, specifically the final stage of the wastewater treatment process. This is where the water, after undergoing primary, secondary, and sometimes tertiary treatment, undergoes its final purification steps before being discharged into the environment. The specific processes employed at a lõpppuhastusjaam can vary depending on the plant's design and the required water quality standards, but they generally aim to remove remaining pollutants, pathogens, and undesirable substances.

Common operations at this stage can include disinfection to kill harmful bacteria and viruses, often using methods like chlorination, UV irradiation, or ozonation. Further filtration might occur to remove suspended solids that were not eliminated in earlier stages. Depending on the regulatory requirements and the type of pollutants present, advanced treatment processes like nutrient removal (phosphorus and nitrogen) or the removal of micropollutants might also be integrated into the lõpppuhastusjaam. The goal is to ensure that the treated water, often referred to as effluent, meets all environmental safety standards and poses no threat to aquatic ecosystems or public health. The sludge generated during these final treatment steps is also managed, typically involving dewatering and disposal or further processing.
