👉 Waste fluid, often referred to as sludge or effluent, is a byproduct generated during various industrial processes, particularly those involving wastewater treatment, chemical manufacturing, and oil refining. This fluid contains dissolved or suspended solids, organic compounds, inorganic salts, and sometimes toxic substances that have been produced as a result of the industrial activities. The composition of waste fluid can vary widely depending on the specific processes involved, but it typically includes contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants. Managing and treating waste fluid is crucial to prevent environmental pollution and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
