What is the process of removing solids from wastewater?
Solids removed from the wastewater receive further treatment, using aeration, chemical addition, and dewatering, resulting in the destruction/digestion of organic compounds. Once stabilized, the biosolids are hauled offsite to either a landfill or land application used to enrich nutrient-deficient soil.
What is UV disinfection?
Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV) Final cleansing of wastewater effluent is accomplished by ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.
