Excerpt from The Design, Construction and Maintenance of Sewage Disposal Works: Being a Practical Guide to Modern Methods of Sewage Purification

Sewage disposal works comprise all the artificial means employed for facilitating the purification of sewage; and although such Works may be designed for the applica tion of many different mechanical, chemical, and biological processes, the ultimate aim and object of them all is to separate the organic matters contained in the sewage from the water in which they are dissolved or suspended, and to render them innocuous by decomposition and oxidation, while at the same time restoring the water itself to a state of Comparative purity, so that. It may not injuriously affect any stream, river, or tidal estuary through which it may pass on its way back to the sea.
