What to Focus On

  • Bioremediation uses living organisms to remove or reduce pollutants.
  • Microorganisms and plants are the main agents of bioremediation.
  • It is used for sewage, solid waste, biomedical waste, oil sludge, and pesticides.
  • Sewage is wastewater from homes, communities, and industries.
  • Municipal sewage is about 99% water and 1% suspended and soluble matter.
  • BOD shows the amount of oxygen needed to stabilise organic matter.
  • Primary treatment is physical or mechanical.
  • It includes screening, grit chamber use, and sedimentation.
  • Sedimentation tanks hold sewage for 2 to 10 hours.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Bioremediation means cleaning waste only with chemicals or machines.

Activated sludge comes from primary treatment and is the sludge removed from the first settling tank.

Secondary treatment makes sewage completely safe for drinking water.
