1. | It basically involves the physical removal of particles – large and small. |
2. | Floating debris is removed by sequential filtration. |
3. | Grit [soli and small pebbles] are removed by sedimentation. |
4. | All solids that settle form the activated sludge. |

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. |
During which stage of the sewage treatment are the microbes used?
1. | Primary | 2. | Secondary |
3. | Tertiary | 4. | Quaternary |
