The separation of suspended material from wastewater by settlement and/or flotation in septic tanks, primary settling chambers, or other structures. In addition to physical separation of solids from liquid, the solids may be decomposed by aerobic or anaerobic microbiological processes and digestion (e.g. anaerobic sludge digestion).
A sub-surface flow, trickling-filter secondary wastewater treatment system consisting of horizontal layers of particulate material, such as sand and gravel, with macrophytes (generally reeds) planted in the surface layer, following a primary treatment system.Primary treated wastewater is intermittently dosed into pipes in the reedbed which distribute the flows through the media layers before the wastewater is disinfected and flows into the effluent storage chamber.
A sub-surface flow, trickling- filter secondary wastewater treatment system consisting of horizontal layers sand, gravel and/or other particulate media, following a primary treatment system. After primary treatment, wastewater is intermittently disbursed through pipes and flows through the filter layers once (i.e. a’single pass’) or is recirculated, before being disinfected and flowing into an effluent storage chamber.AS 1546.3 pdf free download.
