The outflow from a works contains organic material. What plant equipment should be included in the effluent stream because of this and why? What must be monitored?
Plant equipments: activated sludge, trickling filters, and lagoons
why?
Secondary treatment uses biological methods such as activated sludge, trickling filters, and lagoons. Activated sludge is a bacteria-containing microorganism that breaks down organic materials. Typically, activated sludge is used in conjunction with aeration and agitation. Trickling filters are beds of coarse media that drain at the bottom. Lagoons or waste ponds rely upon the interaction of sunlight, algae, microorganisms, and oxygen.
