Sewage treatment aims to remove contaminants from wastewater for environmental discharge. Global sewage treatment rate is 52%, with high-income countries treating 74%. Treatment processes range from decentralized on-site systems to centralized sewer networks
Modern water treatment systems are multistage systems for cleaning sewage. First European water treatment system opened in Frankfurt in 1882. Systems use mechanical, biological and chemical methods
Biological processes primarily deal with organic impurities. Aerobic processes are 10 times faster than anaerobic ones. Aerobic reactors produce high biomass but require large sludge. Activated sludge treatment methods are widely used
Wastewater treatment removes problematic substances and improves water quality. Treatment stages include mechanical, biological, chemical and membrane processes. Municipal plants handle highest wastewater volumes requiring diverse procedures
