Abstract | The report presents a performance and cost evaluation of a system for treatment of screened and degritted raw municipal sewage. The sewage was treated with powdered activated carbon in a 28,000-gpd pilot plant. Two high-rate recirculating-slurry solids-contact clarifiers operating in series with counter-current carbon advance, followed by a gravity polishing filter, produced effluent equal to or better than that produced in a parallel activated sludge plant.
