In the primary phase the sewage is treating aerobically using a variety of bacteria including salmonella. In phase 2 sludge (biomass) separating by sedimentation (settling) and the sludge obtained at this stage is used as fertilisers.
In phase 3 further fi ltration and add-ing chlorine to kill the germs.
