- Abstract
Following upon examination of sewage treatment works and investigation of processes in Europe, the author here sets out some interesting observations on sewage treatment in general, and describes in detail two processes which exhibit considerable improvements in the technique of sewage treatment. One is the Henry chemical process for sludge disposal, by which the sludge is rapidly transformed at no great cost into small dry cakes which have definite market value as fertiliser. The other is the enclosed trickling filter system, by which tank effluents may be effectively aerated without any accompanying nuisances such as odors or the presence of flies.
