Explain the different steps involved during primary treatment phase of sewage.

Answer»

Primary treatment or physical treatment

• It is the physical removal of large and small particles from sewage.

• First, the floating debris is removed by sequential filtration by passing through wire mesh screens.

• Then, the grit (soil and small pebbles) are removed by sedimentation in settling tanks. The sediment is called primary sludge and the supernatant is the effluent.

• The effluent is taken for secondary treatment.
