I got to reading about wastewater treatment, but for some reason I found myself reading about how wastewater is treated and it was a real eye opener. There are so many steps and process used to treat the waste we create so that it can be used again. I kind of alwasy felt like the water was strained out or something and treated with all sorts of chemical like chlorine or something and then it was used again, but the process really is quite scientific and is becoming increasingly “green”.
What intrigued me most was the use of products called wastewater treatment bacteria. They actually use bacteria to clean up wastewater. That nearly blew my mind, but there are actually types of bacteria in the world that are not harmful and provide a useful purpose by breaking down and helping to get rid of waste. Now i dont know what they are called or anything but it turns out that it is the same philosophy applied to products like Rid X that people use in septic tanks.
You live and you learn i guess.
