Optimization in wastewater treatment technology: An option worth remembering

From: Water Environment Research | Date: May 1, 1998| Author: | Copyright information

Municipal wastewater treatment technology today either is approaching or has recently passed its first century of existence, pending some consensus on when the "life" of treatment technology began. Did it begin with, for example, the pit privy? So much for a consensus. Certainly within the last century, wastewater management technologists, this author included, can claim historical documentation of basic systems such as intermittent sand filtration, sewage farms, and of course dilution. If we accept intermittent sand filtration implementation as the period of conception, then the life of ...
