TP – 1264 An Introduction to Wastewater Land Treatment Processes for Professional Engineers

Description

and treatment is defined as the controlled application of wastewater onto the land surface to achieve a designed degree of treatment through natural physical, chemical, and biological processes within the plant-soil-water matrix. The scope of this discussion is limited to the three major land treatment processes: Slow rate (SR) Rapid infiltration (RI) and Overland flow (OF). These processes are defined  in this  technical paper.
