What is pretreatment?
Pretreatment is the removal of waste/pollutants or the enhancement of a discharge water prior to another process. This may include filtration, precipitation, chemical or biological treatment and can be applied to production waste, storm runoff ponds, grease traps/interceptors, even some grouped residential institutions. Virtually anything that leads to the collection system and eventually to the local wastewater treatment plant is eligible for one or many forms of pretreatment.
