New technologies cheer up sewage treatment
- 2003
- ENDS Report (339) April 2003, 18-22(5) .
Water companies are spending billions of pounds on better sewage treatment to improve water quality. Requirements for nutrient stripping, higher microbiological standards, the removal of endocrine disruptors and a declining public tolerance of sewage odours are pushing the traditionally conservative industry to try new technologies - or dust down old ones which have never been attempted in the UK. Membrane treatment is undergoing a boom and further improvements promise to revolutionise sewage treatment and effluent standards. [Taken from journal abstract].
