Wastewater & Water Treatment Plant / Systems

The first step of an Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is the primary treatment. The process is comprised of three phases. The secondary treatment (also known as the biological stage) and the primary treatment (also known as the physical stage). The biological stage is made up of bacteria which eat organic matter and biodegradable organs, such as carbon and phosphorus. Organic residues and dead bacteria are then transformed into sludge. The excess sludge is then moved to settling tanks , where it is dissolved before it is transported to the next stage of the process called the digestion process. This process produces biogas that is used to generate energy.
