Introduction
Conventional Systems have been the backbone of wastewater treatment and water purification for decades. These traditional methods, though simple in design, offer reliable and proven performance for a variety of industrial and municipal applications. At SDES, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and maintaining conventional treatment systems that meet both operational needs and environmental standards.
What Are Conventional Treatment Systems?
Conventional Systems refer to standard water and wastewater treatment processes that typically involve physical, chemical, and biological methods. These systems are widely used because they are time-tested, cost-effective, and relatively easy to operate.
Common processes in conventional systems include:
- Primary Treatment (Physical separation)
- Secondary Treatment (Biological degradation)
- Tertiary Treatment (Advanced filtration and disinfection)
Conventional systems are ideal for industries like textiles, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and municipalities handling domestic sewage.
Key Components of Conventional Systems
1. Primary Treatment Units
Primary treatment focuses on removing large solids and suspended particles from water through sedimentation and screening. Components include:
- Bar Screens: For removing large debris
- Grit Chambers: For separating sand and silt
- Primary Clarifiers: Settling tanks for suspended solids

2. Secondary Treatment Units
Secondary treatment is where biological processes take place, breaking down organic matter.
- Aeration Tanks: Infuse oxygen to support microbial digestion
- Secondary Clarifiers: Separate treated water from biological sludge
- Surface Aerators: Enhance oxygen transfer for faster biological treatment

3. Tertiary Treatment Units
Tertiary treatment improves water quality by removing remaining suspended solids, nutrients, and pathogens.
- Sand Filters
- Activated Carbon Filters
- Chlorination or UV Systems
