Holding the sewage temporarily

Heavy solids - settle to the

Separation process to
remove the micro-
organisms
Native macrophytes, especially reeds
Small filter-feeding invertebrates such as Daphnia and species of Rotifera
TERTIARY TREATMENT
• Sand filtration
• Carbon adsorption
• Lagoons or ponds
• Biological nutrient removal
• Nutrient removal – ammonia to nitrate
(nitrification) followed by denitrification
• Phosphorous removal – Phosphate accumulating
organisms (PAOs) – fertiliser, chemical
precipitation of salts of iron and aluminium
DISINFECTION
“To reduce the microorganisms”

• UV light
• Ozone
• Chlorine
• Sodium hypochlorite – most common
• Chloramine
ENVIRONMENTAL PERSISTENT
PHARMACEUTICAL POLLUTANT (EPPP)
1. Advanced oxidation with ozone
Granulated Activated Carbon

2. Ultra filtration
GAC

3. Enzyme laccase is under investigation.


SLUDGE – Waste water which does not
contain human excreta
“Digestion- is to reduce the amount of organic
matter and the number of disease-
causing microorganisms”
• Anaerobic digestion
• Aerobic digestion
• Composting
• Incineration
THINGS TO LEARN DURING THE VISIT
