2. Sewage sludge treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_sludge_treatment

   Sewage sludge can be superheated and converted it into pelletized granules that are high in nitrogen and other organic materials. In New York City, for example, several sewage treatment plants have dewatering facilities that use large centrifuges along with the addition of chemicals such as polymer to further remove liquid from the sludge. The ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_sludge

   Sewage sludge is the residual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater. The term "septage" also refers to sludge from simple wastewater treatment but is connected to simple on-site sanitation systems, such as septic tanks.

4. Septic tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_tank

   Septic tank additives have been promoted by some manufacturers with the aim to improve the effluent quality from septic tanks, reduce sludge build-up and to reduce odors. These additives—which are commonly based on "effective microorganisms"—are usually costly in the longer term and fail to live up to expectations. [14]

5. Rotating biological contactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_biological_contactor

   Sludge is generally removed daily, or pumped automatically to the primary settlement tank for co-settlement. Regular sludge removal reduces the risk of anaerobic conditions from developing within the sludge, with subsequent sludge flotation due to the release of gases.

6. Sewage treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment

   Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges.

7. Secondary treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_treatment

   Primary treatment is the "removal of a portion of the suspended solids and organic matter from the sewage". [5]: 11 It consists of allowing sewage to pass slowly through a basin where heavy solids can settle to the bottom while oil, grease and lighter solids float to the surface and are skimmed off.
