Honduras wastewater treatment : chemically enhanced primary treatment and sustainable secondary treatment technologies for use with Imhoff tanks

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

(cont.) However, it is doubtful the costs associated with dosages required to achieve these removals are sustainable for communities such as Las Vegas. To address these deficiencies further sustainable practices for optimizing the Imhoff tanks as well as designs for both pre-treatment and secondary treatment options appropriate for use in Honduras were developed. The recommended system allows achievement of regulatory effluent levels while maintaining low annual operating costs for the system.
