What are the 4 methods of sewage?
In Class 12 Biology (Microbes in Human Welfare), sewage treatment is mainly done in 4 major steps/methods:
-
Primary treatment – physical removal of large particles by filtration and sedimentation.
-
Secondary treatment (biological treatment) – microbes break down organic matter (activated sludge process).
-
Anaerobic digestion – anaerobic bacteria digest sludge and produce biogas.
-
Disinfection – treated water is disinfected (chlorination/ozonation) before release.
