Question

Explain the process of seeage water treatment before it can be dischaeged into natural bodies why this treatment is essential?​

Answer 1

Answer:

During this digestion, bacteria produce a mixture of gases such as methane, H2S, and CO2. This treatment is essential as the sewage or municipal waste discharged into rivers, streams and other water bodies contains human excreta, organic wastes, and several pathogenic microbes.

Answer 2

Hey mate..!!

Here is ur answer.. ⬇️⬇️

➡️Sewage mainly includes human excreta and contains large amounts of organic waste and pathogenic microbes. Thus it is necessary that waste should be made less polluted before discharging into water bodies.

a) Primary treatment- In this treatment, filtration and sedimentation process is applied to remove large and small particles. Filtration process removes the floating debris by passing it through mesh wire screens. Then sedimentation removes the soil and small pebbles. The sediment is known as primary sludge and the supernatant is known as primary effluent. The effluent then enters the secondary treatment.

b) Secondary treatment- In this treatment, large aeration tanks containing primary effluent are constantly agitated with a continuous supply of air. Thus aerobic microbes grow vigorously consuming a major part of the organic effluent reducing Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of the effluent. The sewage is then passed into the settling tank where bacteria settle and now it is known as activated sludge. Some of the activated sludge is again passed into aeration tank to serve as inoculum while rest of it enters into large tanks called anaerobic sludge digesters. Here anaerobic bacteria grow to produce a mixture of gases such as methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide to form biogas. This effluent can then be released into natural water bodies.
