Abstract

This report reviews available technologies to improve performance and efficiency of wet weather wastewater treatment and identifies potentially beneficial technologies and methodologies that are emerging. It assesses vortex separation, enhanced clarification, operational enhancements, flushing system, and disinfection technologies. It includes operation and maintenance requirements and cost for each. The information presented will help stormwater owners and operators choose the most appropriate, cost-effective technologies for their treatment plants. Published by WERF. 140 pages. Soft cover.
