WERF/CRTC Protocols for Evaluating Secondary Clarifier Performance

Abstract

Synthesizes a decade of research on secondary clarifiers. Will develop guidelines that treatment facilities can use to evaluate and improve performance. Cost savings will be realized through improved efficiency in downstream processes.

Originally funded as WERF project 00-CTS-1.
