When we talk about water treatment, some terms pop up during the conversation, like sewage, effluent, WTP, etc. these are nothing but the different types of water treatment. Freshwater from water bodies like lakes and rivers needs one type of treatment. Sewage needs another. Effluent treatment is a different methodology. What are ETP, STP, and WTP? How are they different from each other? What happens in these processes? Let us know the answers to the above questions in this article.

Water Treatment Plant

Water treatment is the process of purifying water that flows out of water bodies and making it usable and pottable. This process contains physical, chemical, and biological treatments done at many levels. These treatments separate harsh chemical compounds, microbes, and other harmful substances from the water. Processes like sedimentation, filtration, desalination, etc., take place throughout the process. The end product is potable and clean water.

Effluent Treatment Plant

ETP or Effluent Treatment Plant is a wastewater treatment process. There are two main types of wastewater. They are referred to as sewage and effluent. Sewage is domestic wastewater. Effluent is the wastewater generated by industries and factories. While effluent may contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals, sewage contains excreta and toxins. Now, let us see what exactly happens in an Effluent Treatment Plant.

Effluent water contains harsh chemicals and harmful metal content. Some guidelines have to be followed by the companies or industries while discharging the effluent water into water bodies and land. These guidelines are published by the Govt. of India in the sewage and effluent discharge manual. The most important regulation is that the effluent water has to be treated before the water becomes accessible for the human, flora, and fauna population. This is why Effluent treatment plants have become very popular these days.

There are three jargons used in the process of effluent treatment. Influent or the untreated water, Effluent or the treated water, and Sludge or the solid waste removed from the effluent water.

The influent water undergoes many stages of purification in the Effluent Treatment Plant. They are as follows:

· Pre-treatment stage

Before the water treatment begins, the large solid fragments like plastics, cloth, wood, etc. are fished out of it by processes like sedimentation and clarification.

· Primary stage

The smaller floating particles are made to settle and the water is separated from these sediments. Then, the ph control treatment takes place. The ph of the water is neutralized by adding chemical coagulants and flocculants.

· Secondary stage

This stage involves removing organic and inorganic compounds as well as microbes like bacteria from the water. This biological treatment happens aerobically that is in the presence of oxygen and anaerobically that is in the absence of oxygen.

· Advanced stage

The water undergoes one final purification which removes any remaining organic and inorganic compounds, microbes, and other chemical substances before it is reused. The water that comes out of this stage is clean potable water.

Will the amount of water fed to a plant affect plant growth?

Yes, plants with a small supply of water will often grow very slowly. They also tend to have smaller leaves as approximately 90% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost through evaporation through the the leaves. Hydrogen in water is mixed with carbon dioxide in the air to make carbohydrates, food for the plants. Little water means little food so generally, plants with a plentiful supply of water will grow faster and stronger (assuming they have adequate levels of sunlight) it helps plants grow


Why is SiO2 more soluble in Sea Water vs Fresh Water?

The difference in solubility is not significant.


What composition is tap water?

Tap water is primarily composed of H2O (water molecules) and can contain various dissolved minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium, as well as trace amounts of contaminants like chlorine, fluoride, and heavy metals, depending on the source and treatment processes. The exact composition varies by location due to differences in source water (surface water vs. groundwater) and local regulations. Municipal water systems often treat tap water to ensure it meets safety standards for drinking.


What plant live in salt water?

Because of the osmosis properties in plant cells, things will go like this. Cell containing 95% water, 5% Salt VS Lake containing 50% water, 50% Salt The cell will push all the water out into the lake in an effort to try and make the salt:water ratios equal on both sides. The lack of water inside the cell at the end will shrivel the cells, causing the plant to cease functioning properly... and eventually die.

What is the impact of high vs low water potential on plant growth and development?

High water potential promotes plant growth and development by providing ample water for essential processes like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. In contrast, low water potential can hinder plant growth and development, leading to wilting, stunted growth, and even death due to water stress. Maintaining an optimal water potential is crucial for healthy plant growth.

During the analysis of the company's transcriptome, I got a comparison of treatment vs control, but in research papers, we have to write control vs treatment. So, is it okay to rewrite it as control vs treatment, or should I have to do the analysis again?

You don't need to redo the analysis just to reverse the comparison order from "treatment vs control" to "control vs treatment." The results of your analysis remain valid regardless of the order in which you present the comparisons. Here’s what you can do: Rewriting for Consistency: When writing your research paper, you can present the findings as "control vs treatment." This involves reversing the labels in your descriptions and ensuring that any statistical results, such as fold changes and p-values, are correctly interpreted in the new context. Clarify the Direction: Clearly state in the methods section how the analysis was conducted and that you are presenting the results in the "control vs treatment" format for consistency with the literature. Interpret Results Correctly: Be mindful of how the direction of change is reported. For example, if a gene is upregulated in treatment compared to control, it would be downregulated in the control compared to treatment, and vice versa. Here's an example of how you might describe this in your methods section: "For consistency with standard reporting in the literature, we present our differential expression results in the 'control vs treatment' format. The original analysis was performed as 'treatment vs control', and results have been inverted accordingly."
