Wastewater treatment, also called sewage treatment, the removal of impurities from

wastewater, or sewage, before they reach aquifers or natural bodies of water such
as rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. Since pure water is not found in nature (i.e., outside
chemical laboratories), any distinction between clean water and polluted water depends on the
type and concentration of impurities found in the water as well as on its intended use. In broad
terms, water is said to be polluted when it contains enough impurities to make it unfit for a
particular use, such as drinking, swimming, or fishing. Although water quality is affected by
natural conditions, the word pollution usually implies human activity as the source of
contamination. Water pollution, therefore, is caused primarily by the drainage of contaminated
wastewater into surface water or groundwater, and wastewater treatment is a major element of
water pollution control.

Coarse Screens: Coarse screens also called racks, are usually bar screens,
composed of vertical or inclined bars spaced at equal intervals across a
channel through which sewage flows. Bar screens with relatively large
openings of 75 to 150 mm are provided ahead of pumps, while those ahead
of sedimentation tanks have smaller openings of 50 mm.

Bar screens are usually hand cleaned and sometimes provided with
mechanical devices. These cleaning devices are rakes which
periodically sweep the entire screen removing the solids for further
processing or disposal. Hand cleaned racks are set usually at an
angle of 45° to the horizontal to increase the effective cleaning
surface and also facilitate the raking operations. Mechanical cleaned
racks are generally erected almost vertically. Such bar screens have
openings 25% in excess of the cross section of the sewage channel.
