Whqt is secondary treatment of sewage
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years ago

  •  Primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks with constant mechanical agitation and air supply.
  • Useful aerobic microbes grow rapidly and form flocs.
  •  Flocs are masses of bacteria and consumes organic matter and thus reduce the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
  • When BOD of sewage has reduced, the effluent is passed into Settling tank.
  • Here, the bacterial flocs settle and sediment is called activated sludge.
  • A small part of the sludge is used as an inoculum in the aeration tank and the remaining part is passed into large tanks called anaerobic sludge digesters.
  • In the digesters, heterotrophic microbes anaerobically digest bacteria and fungi in sludge producing mixture of gases such as methane, H2S, CO2 which forms the biogas.
