sewer treatment blog

1. at the sewer plant i learned that by the time the waste gets there its not like all poopy but more of a grayish liquid. also i learned that they have several diff processes to clean and filter the water. one was by adding micro-organisms to at the waste ant another is to slowly turn the water and as the sediment falls its slowly sweeped up by a big arm. i also learned that they had to add oxygen to the water for the micro-organisms to live and duplicate.
2. yes, i will recycle more often now that i know where the plants are and how empty most of the containers were empty. although if there were a closer plant and one that was able to recycle more that bottles and paper would be far more efficient.
