  2. Agricultural wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_wastewater...

    Agricultural wastewater treatment is a farm management agenda for controlling pollution from confined animal operations and from surface runoff that may be contaminated by chemicals in fertilizer, pesticides, animal slurry, crop residues or irrigation water. Agricultural wastewater treatment is required for continuous confined animal operations ...

  3. Organisms involved in water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisms_involved_in...

    Sewage treatment plants mix these organisms as activated sludge or circulate water past organisms living on trickling filters or rotating biological contactors. [ 5 ] Aquatic vegetation may provide similar surface habitat for purifying bacteria, protozoa, and rotifers in a pond or marsh setting; although water circulation is often less effective.

  4. Water supply and sanitation in the Republic of Ireland

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and...

    Under the EU's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 1991, local authorities are obliged to construct secondary and tertiary water treatment plants by 2008. New wastewater treatment plants were built in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway between 2000 and 2011, generating additional capacity equivalent to the needs of a population of 3.96 million.

  5. Constructed wetland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_wetland

    High rate aerobic treatment processes like activated sludge plants, trickling filters, rotating discs, submerged aerated filters or membrane bioreactor plants require less space. The advantage of subsurface flow constructed wetlands compared to those technologies is their operational robustness which is particularly important in developing ...

  6. Facultative lagoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facultative_lagoon

    Facultative lagoon (polishing pond) providing tertiary treatment after a constructed wetland in Hamburg-Allermöhe, Germany. Overflow from the facultative lagoon may be routed through one or more polishing ponds supporting lower populations of anaerobic micro-organisms and a higher proportion of aerobic organisms adapted to survival in lower concentrations of organic material.

  7. Wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment

    Sewage treatment plant (a type of wastewater treatment plant) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment.

  8. Biofilter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilter

    Bespoke biofilters have been developed and commercialized for the treatment of animal wastes, [13] landfill leachates, [14] dairy wastewater, [15] domestic wastewater. [ 16 ] This process is versatile as it can be adapted to small flows (< 1 m3/d), such as onsite sewage [ 17 ] as well as to flows generated by a municipality (> 240 000 m3/d). [ 18 ]

  9. Water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment

    Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant, Washington, D.C. Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.
