Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which stage of the purification of the sewage water are microbes used?
A
Primary treatment
B
Secondary treatment
C
Tertiary treatment
D
Both (a) and (b)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary treatment removes dissolved and suspended biological matter, often using microorganisms in a controlled environment. Most secondary treatment systems use aerobic bacteria, which consume the organic components of the sewage (sugar, fat, and so on).

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary Treatment The secondary stage of treatment removes about 85 percent of the organic matter in sewage by making use of the bacteria in it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary treatment (mostly biological wastewater treatment) is the removal of biodegradable organic matter (in solution or suspension) from sewage or similar kinds of wastewater. The aim is to achieve a certain degree of effluent quality in a sewage treatment plant suitable for the intended disposal or reuse option.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic bacteria are used in wastewater treatment on a normal basis. The main role of these bacteria in sewage treatment is to reduce the volume of sludge and produce methane gas from it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Secondary wastewater treatment processes use microorganisms to biologically remove contaminants from wastewater. Secondary biological processes can be aerobic or anaerobic, each process utilizing a different type of bacterial community.
