I treat your water, I work in your waste. What do you want to know about how all this works?
>>74043771
the only question i could possibly give a shit about is what kinds of toxins come out of our shit and are there estrogens involved
>>74043771
What's the strangest thing that people have put down the drain?
>>74043771
how often do you make contact with our shit water and what is the extent of the contact
So how's it work
>>74043771
Very many toxins, we don't even test for xenogens.
>>74043856
Dead salamanders. I live in a relatively rural state. That means non-muslims insallah my brother.
>>74043941
Daily I smell it and daily I test it
>>74043771
Can that water be potabilized?
Also, waht is the weirdest thing you've found?
>>74043771
Is there much demand for Electrical Engineers in wastewater treatment? I know you guys love Chem E / Environmental Eng people, but someone has to design all those mountains of electronics that make a treatment plant 'chooch.
>>74044118
English Tip: Just say "can it be made potable"
>>74043771
How can I get a job in waste water? I'm not willing to spend any money on this, btw
Were you on /r9k/ a few days ago saying you do nothing but shitpost on 4chan and drink from your flask at work?

>>74044010
>Dead salamanders.
Are they native to where you live or are people flushing dead pets?
'insallah' means 'god willing' by the way not sure if that was how you meant it. I think a more typical Muslim greeting in England would be 'Ay up duck'.
Do you make fertiliser or something from all the poo, or just bury it in a hole?
>>74043771
do you ever piss in the water after its been treated?
i know i would
>>74043771
What do you do with the waste?
And the solid waste?
>>74043771
Can you drink the treated water right where it pools, or is it sectioned off?
Are you gay?
>>74044533
Fuck off
>>74044622
Never, I like my water and take it very seriously.
>>74044643
It all gets treated. I know this is hard to understand for Mexico, but we have a thing called a GOVERNMENT. We pay taxes which is a percentage of what we get paid and it fund certain social services such as water.
>>74044886
Somewhat irrelevant to what i asked but ok.

I think he asked what you guys do with the poop and dead salamanders.
how are the jews involved
I've been wondering, what happens to the contaminants and stuff that you filter out of the water?
Does it end up in landfill? Does it get flushed down a seperate pipe? Where does the shit go? What is it's final destination?
>>74045104
Anon asking the hard hitting questions here
OP better answer
>>74044966
solid wastes are mechanically deconstructed (?) and then chemically treated
solid wastes that wont deconstruct are piled off to the landfill
Have Jews come there yet trying to Kosher tax the water so everyone has a kosher symbol on the meter?
Dilution is the solution to pollution.
How much did the Jews pay you to put fluoride in the water

How bad are disposable wipes (toilet paper for babbies) for our water supply/sewage system?
inb4 india
>>74043771
What chemicals go into our water supply?
How effective/hard for it to be for some sort of terrorist group or whoever to poison the water supply? Using whatever city you work in as an example is it feasible?
>>74044966
>>74045028
We get influent, that's your raw shit. We run it through a screen to filter out as much solids as we can. IT then gets ran through a series of ditches where we aerate it and expose it to certain biological organisms. The dead shit floats to the bottom which is what we call sludge. We siphon that off. The remaining water gets treated with settelation and chlorine.
>>74045217
No fluoride
>>74045282
You make our costs so high
>>74044886

Is it plagued by mosquitos?
Do u use plants, algaes, microalgaes, bacteria or fishes?
How much do they pay, can i work as a legal spic? i want to learn then i´ll leave
I sometimes notice people using bathrooms(diarrhea) more often than usual.
Does it have to do something with water, do you guys fuck it up once in a while?
So I poo and pee in the toilet and then eventually that same water goes right back to my faucet ready to be drank and used for showers and brushing my teeth?
Do you/can you filter out used motor oil in the water?

I wanted to ask about this too.
In what way are you guys fucking with our water?
Sorry about last Friday, I ate 7 tacos and washed them down with cheap beer.
>>74045426
Is there a way to reduce the price burden of disposable wipes, besides the obvious one?
>>74045690

>>74043771
more than most , fatherand bro work at a water plant.and my dad used to work waste water
the solution to pollution is dilution
>>74043771
Nothing, I have a water treatment plant at the factory I work at.
It's amazing what flocculation, filtration, chlorination, pH control, and UV exposure will do.
>>74043771
I keep having this argument with people when they say I'm wasting water. I use as much tap water as I want, and people whine at me about how I'm wasting water. I tell them, it just gets reprocessed, not wasted. And then they storm off in a huff.
Who's right?
>>74045914
The obvious one being quit flushing shit that shouldn't be flushed down? No, people will never hear it. Out of sight out of mind and then they will complain about how much we get paid.
>>74045933
kek. i mean does it get sent to garbage dumps? does the company hold on to it? sell it off to other countries as fertilizer?
>>74045690
goes to ponds ,, or gets dried out and disposed of ? op?
>>74046029
You're right. You're not wasting water as by the time it already reached you it has been treated. People shitting and all that is what is a waste.
>>74046027
Not OP
Do you guys use clarifiers to flocculate poo in, then filter the fallout through belt filters?
>>74046053
we dry it out from liquid in a centrifuge and send the dry material to a dump to be composted.
I hear that marijuana grows at the end of the drain. Is that true?

>>74045784
How north are we talking?
>>74046252
thanks op
>>74043771
I remember this story how some Norwegian coastal fish population got feminized because of how much estrogens the nearby cities dumped in the sea. Do they even try to filter that shit out at your plant? I'd assume you can adsorb it on activated charcoal. But you're probably pumping it all back in again, aren't you?
>>74046725
>mfw you are replying to a Jew

So they can charge you more for water. At least that's what they do here in Ausfailia.
>>74046574
Drink some La Bett or whatever for me canfam
>>74046725
It is. It will all come back. We are more concerned about what is being PUT into the water, such as birth control pills, but we aren't allowed to talk about it.

>>74046749
You're welcome. You're tax dollars are enough thanks, just don't bother us if we're digging up a manhole near you. If we're doing that, we really have to, we don't want to.
>>74046527
I'm sure city waste is a little different than mine, larger scale and all that. I work with mainly an influent of 2 MGD.
I hear the city positions are pretty cushy though. I'm responsible for the waste, offal, and grounds at the company I'm with
Not OP, but I've worked in environmental management. Treatment plants usually consist of a series of ponds. Waste enters a pond, and heavy material settles at the bottom. Then, a live bacteria culture consumes the smaller waste particles and denatures them into basic organic compounds. Whatever is left flows into the next pond, where the process repeats until all the waste material has settled out or been consumed by bacteria. In the final step, the bacteria are irradiated with UV light, which sterilizes it, and the clean outflow is drained back into the watershed. The sludge at the bottom of the ponds is periodically collected and dried out, and then either composted in a landfill or burned to generate electricity at a sludge plant.
>>74046919
I work rural senpai. County shit for a large tract of area. We send our shit up to the EPA and they bring the hammer down if something is off.
>>74046879
Good thing I live in an apartment and there's no water bill. I always take at least a 40 minute shower.
>>74046908
You need to talk about it and put pressure on people(women) to stop using the toilet as a trash can. I admit I do use plenty flushable wipes.
What percentage of incoming water is recycled?
how long is the turn around from intake to potable?
Will it continue to be cost effective treating water in the same manner as populations grow?
Is any of the waste converted to fertilizer or another usable and sellable product?
Do you like cumming on birds?
>>74046228
The wastewater is treated with aeration and microorganisms to biologically oxidize organics. Then a clarifier separates the sludge from the treated water.
>>74047002
You are almost 100% right about what happens at my plant except for the UV light. This person knows what they're talking about.
>>74046775
Would also like an answer to this OP. What about them xenoestrogens making boys look like lil bitches?
>>74045840
i work in drinking water, there isnt much fuckery, we dont even use fluoride here
>>74047029
Fortunately, I just get hammered by the company. Which is why I fudge my numbers a little. Never out of compliance, but if something fucks up and I put out water that's a little dirty for a few hours, nobody's got to know except me. Thank God I grew up with the inspector from the DoH in my state, she's saved me a few times
Do you ever drink the water to make sure it is treated correctly? Or do you just assume that it's treated correctly and give it to the masses you sick fuck?
>>74047188
UV is a new requirement for many places if you're susceptible to cryptosporidium. We don't use it in wastewater treatment, just regular water treatment. Wastewater is returned to the river.
>>74047221
That's not exactly xenoestrogens per se, more like synthetic estrogen analogues from the remains of morning-after pills and various other contraceptive drugs which women piss out at a staggering rate.
>>74047188
Do those places pay well?
Do they drug test?
How easy is the job?
>>74047238
When I visited the local water plant, they had a 500 gallon tank of sodium fluoride, which they casually noted as being "for dental health".
>>74047380
Well we keep in compliance.
>>74047412
Our drinking water is fed by a spring and we only use sand filter with chlorine. I would drink out of our lake it's so clear.
>>74047564
What is well?
No they don't
Easy if you passed basic chem and enviro sci
>>74047583
yeah some places use it, my state thankfully doesn't for the most part. they tried to push it on us a couple years ago but it didnt pass
>>74043771
Chem Eng. here who worked a lot with water and waste treatment, both in and out of the industry/complexes, and one year with sewer treatment.
You are doing god's work, son. Keep that chlorine away from that piss and shit, though.
Anyway, godspeed, anon.
>>74047583
>"for dental health"
Considering that's what it's used for, I'd be surprised if they said anything else.
>>74047188
Yeah, different facilities use slightly different procedures, and I'm more familiar with plants that are less than 20 years old. A lot of treatment centers are outdated and over capacity, so every time there's a major rain storm, there is raw sewage flowing into the creeks and rivers in some of the poorer counties. To go off on a tangent, I had to audit a giant sludge burning plant several years ago. It basically consists of conveyer belts feeding giant bricks of dried human shit into ovens, and that's exactly what it smells like.
>>74043771
Does your plant do tertiary treatment?
What is your opinion of engineers ?
>>74047448
>morning-after pills
These fucking whores are destroying our water supply.
Was this your dream career
>>74043771
I've been sending you fucks grease for years, be angry at me
>>74047889
Well those bricks sound terrible. I don't to get into to much detail about our plant but it had an upgrade recently to have a very nice centrifuge that dealt with sludge very well. The engineers keep trying to pressure us into a nitrogen catching system for our ditches that will power our plant and beyond but will cost so much and is so fragile.

What is the number one thing you wish people would stop flushing down their toilets?
Also what do you think about people who argue we need to minimize our waste water significantly? Is this a problem for all locations? A problem for some locations? Or not a problem at all?
Answer my question faggot. When some people show symptoms of sickness, like diarrhea at the same time,is it your fault?,
>>74045521

An inspector from the EPA came to my job their main concern was a acetone still using tap water for cooling the drainage lead to a park.
You see the chemicals added to the tap water were apparently strong enough to kill large amounts of trees and fish in the park over time.
I just wanted to say thanks OP i didn't want to live to my 60's anyway.
>>74051146
the majority of wastewater treatment plants do not use their effluent as drinking water and the ones that do have extra steps in the process to create potable water

Without access to proper waste treatment how long would it take for us to turn into india 2.0?

Here if a plant failed the waste would be diverted to another plant but any excess would be sent to the ocean untreated. So our streets wouldn't turn into shit rivers but our rivers and oceans would turn to shit. This is for WA
