1. Site Selection: Selecting a suitable site for the facility after considering factors such as soil composition, groundwater level, accessibility, and proximity to communities.
2. Process Design: Designing a system that effectively treats the type and volume of industrial waste produced by the facility. The system should efficiently remove harmful chemical pollutants and heavy metals.
3. Safety: Ensuring that the treatment process is safe for workers and the surrounding environment. This can include the use of protective equipment and instituting emergency response protocols.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that the facility meets regulatory requirements and obtains all necessary permits and licenses.
5. Maintenance and Upkeep: Developing a plan to regularly maintain and repair the treatment facilities, equipment, and systems to ensure that they continue to operate efficiently.
6. Monitoring and Testing: Implementing a system to regularly monitor and test the effluent water to ensure that the treatment process is working as expected and that the facility is meeting established discharge limits.
7. Waste Disposal: Developing a plan for the safe and compliant disposal of the resulting waste products, including sludge and contaminated materials.
8. Sustainability: Incorporating sustainable design principles into the facility, such as minimizing energy and water usage and maximizing resource recovery.
