WASTE WATER TREATMENT IN AJMAN

Although sewage is more than 99.9 per cent water, the small proportion of solids in suspension and solution is highly important in its effects.The strength or weakness of sewage is dependent upon the per capita water consumption and the amount of industrial wastes.The solids of sewage are in solution and suspension and include both organic and inorganic matters. The total solids include both the suspended and the dissolved solids.Suspended solids are those which can be filtered out on an asbestos mat and dried. They are relatively high in organic matter. Dissolved solids are obtained by evaporating a filtered sample.Pathogens and coli form organisms will also occur in sewage, but they play no part in the sewage treatment.
