Sewage Filtration and Activated Sludge Process

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about sewage filtration and activated sludge process which are the process that involves air or oxygen being introduced into a mixture of screened, and primary treated sewage or industrial wastewater (wastewater) combined with organisms to develop a biological floc which reduces the organic content of the sewage.
