Secondary treatment of the sewage is also called Biological treatment. Justify this statement and explain the process.
Involves biological organisms such as aerobic and anaerobic microbes/bacteria and fungi to digest/consume organic waste.
Primary effluent is passed into aeration tank where vigorous growth of aerobic microbes take place, BOD reduced, effluent is passed to the setting tank where flocs sediment to produce activated sludge, sludge is pumped to anaerobic sludge digestion to digest bacteria and fungi.
