Extended aeration : a comparative study between prefabricated reinforced fiberglass and concrete cast in-situ plants

The choice of wastewater treatment plants for any application depends on the quality of raw sewage, the required quality of treated water and the economics resources available to pay for both capital cost and operating cost of the treatment plants. The performance of any wastewater treatment plants...
