The primary objective of the secondary treatment of sewage water is:

1. the removal of coarse solids and other large materials often found in raw wastewater.
2. the removal of settleable organic and inorganic solids by sedimentation, and the removal of materials that will float by skimming.
3. production of biogas that can be used as an efficient fuel, especially in rural households.
4. the removal of biodegradable dissolved and colloidal organic matter using aerobic biological treatment processes.
