Vesivaiheen

Vesivaiheen is a term used to describe a stage of a process where water flows through a series of basins or vessels, leading to changes in water quality and quantity. This concept is often used in the context of wastewater treatment, where the goal is to remove contaminants and pollutants from the water.

The term "vesivaiheen" is derived from the Finnish language, where "vesi" means water and "vaiheen" means phase or stage. In the context of wastewater treatment, the vesivaiheen refers to the first stage of the treatment process, where the water is passed through a series of basins or tanks. During this stage, solid particles and contaminants are allowed to settle out of the water, allowing the clear water to rise to the surface.

The vesivaiheen stage is often preceded by a preliminary stage where coarser solid particles and debris are removed from the water. The water is then passed through a series of basins, where the solid particles continue to settle out and the water is clarified. The clear water is then removed and passed to the next stage of the treatment process, where additional treatment steps such as aeration, biological treatment, and disinfection take place.

The vesivaiheen stage is an important part of the wastewater treatment process, as it helps to remove contaminants and pollutants from the water, improving the overall quality of the effluent.
