(a)
Which one of the two 'S.T.P.' (A) or (B) will be more effective in treating the human excreta in the municipal waste?
(b)
Write the steps followed in carrying the treatment of the sewage in step (Z), once the BOD of sewage is reduced significantly till it is passed on to the "anaerobic sludge digesters".
Marking-scheme solution

● The effluent is passed into the settling tanks
The bacterial 'flocs' are allowed to settle (sediment is called activated sludge)
