Rotating biological contactors or biological discs and septic tank systems followed by anaerobic (upflow) filter or composite anaerobic (upflow) filter are some of the simple treatment devices relevant to semi-urban and urban fringe areas, rural areas and institutions where localised collection and treatment
of sewage could be expedient. Laboratory , pilot plant and field scale studies carried out at National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur have clearly established the feasibility of these systems and brought out the process design criteria and operational aspects. The paper brings forth briefly the salient features of the studies.
