Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary treatment of municipal wastewater?

Primary treatment is the first major physical treatment stage in municipal wastewater processing. It typically removes settleable solids, floating materials, and some organic load through screening, grit removal, sedimentation, and clarification. Monitoring the resulting primary effluent helps operators understand flow conditions, discharge trends, and whether downstream biological or chemical treatment stages are receiving consistent influent quality.
