Question
Chapter 22.4, Problem 11AYP
Summary Introduction
To outline:
The three phases of wastewater treatment.
Concept introduction:
The wastewater treatment processes are mainly divided into three stages: the primary phase, a secondary phase, and a tertiary phase. The wastewater is treated to ensure the safe drinking of water and to eliminate the harmful pathogens. The sewage that is piped to wastewater treatment is subjected to physical, biological, and sometimes chemical processes.
