whats treatment preliminaire

A

waste water passes through grates with grates in pipes to prevent objects like rocks, branches, waste entering.

21
Q

whats treatment primaire

A

the water eventually passes through the pipes to arrive in a settling pond to rest until the solid particles decompose.

22
Q

whats treatment biological

A

the water starts to move again through basins to eliminate bacterias and parasites.

23
Q

whats treatment final

A

the water passes through a clean basin containing chlorine to remove the rest of the bacteria. the treated water then returns to the rivers to finally resume its normal cycle.
