Primary Treatment • Physical Treatment • Settling tank allow material to settle to bottom (sludge)
Secondary Treatment • Microorganisms consume 90% • Water is aerated to add oxygen • Sludge is either incinerated or recycled • Water is allowed to settle a second time • BNR – Biological nitrogen removal
Tertiary Treatment • Physical or Chemical • Remove fine suspended particles with a filter • Remove Phosphate
Disinfection • Use of Chlorine, ozone or UV light used to kill bacteria • Removal of Chlorine • Water is released to stream • Floculation – process by which solids are grouped
