==﻿ ﻿How does it work? ==


==A waste water treatment plant is designed to take all used water and waste from municipal sewage lines and run it through a cleaning process to remove harmful bacteria, chemicals, particles and other pollutants while adding oxygen to the water prior to releasing it back into the environment. The used water includes water from toilets, baths, washing machines, garbage disposals, sinks, drains, runoff and groundwater. ==

Secondary treatment removes dissolved oxygen-demanding organic substances by using bacteria to convert degradable organic matter into bacterial cells. The wastewater is then clarified by separating treated liquid from grown bacterial cells using gravity. Bacteria and sludge is then either processed onsite or sent to a separate solids treatment facility.
