During primary treatment, all solids that settle forms........A.......and the supernatant forms......B.........
Options
- AA-Primary sludge; B-effluent
- BA-Primary sludge; B-secondary effluent
- CA-Activated sludge; B-clarified effluent
- DA-Activated sludge; B-effluent
Correct answer
A. A-Primary sludge; B-effluent
Step-by-step solution
Primary treatment : These treatment steps basically involve physical removal of particles – large and small – from the sewage through filtration and sedimentation. These are removed in stages; initially, floating debris is removed by sequential filtration. Then the grit (soil and small pebbles) are removed by sedimentation. All solids that settle form the primary sludge, and the supernatant forms the effluent. The effluent from the primary settling tank is taken for secondary treatment.
