Under the guidance of the staff, the visiting team first visited the meter room. The meter room is mainly used to monitor the degree of water pollution. Then the visiting team was led to climb the clean water tower, and visit the clean pool. The industrial wastewater is purified by biochemical method here. A large number of suspended substances and large impurities in the wastewater are removed by adjusting acid neutrality, flocculation, and air floating. The wastewater then flows into the AO biochemical tank, where both aerobic and anaerobic microbial strains are used to purify the chemical aerobic substances in the wastewater.
