Classification of Sewage:
Sewage may be classified mainly into two
types, namely, domestic and industrial. All
household wastes and human and animal
excrete constitute domestic sewage,
whereas the industrial wastes constitute
industrial sewage.
Characteristics of Sewage:
(i) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
and Oxygen Consumption (OC) values are
extremely high in sewage.

Treatment of Sewage:
Our objectives behind the sewage
treatment would be to kill pathogenic
microorganisms, prevent anoxia, raise the
pH to alkaline side, increase
photosynthetic rate, reduce organic
content, etc. When these objectives are
achieved by the way of treating the sewage,
the conditions prevailing in a natural water
reservoir are induced in sewage water and
the latter can be reused.
