Module-79A: Primary Treatment of Waste Water

The document discusses primary treatment of wastewater. Preliminary treatment consists of separating floating materials, heavy solids, oils, and greases using screens, grit chambers, and skimming tanks. Primary treatment then removes larger suspended organic materials in sedimentation tanks, which operate on similar principles to sedimentation in drinking water treatment. Primary treatment provides basic physical separation of solids from wastewater in preliminary and primary steps.

Preliminary treatment: It consists of separating the floating materials and also heavy

used are screenings for removing floating materials. Grit chambers for removing grit,
skimming tanks to remove oil and grease.
Preliminary treatment: It consists of removing large suspended organic material. This is
