Best management practice for water pollution
Best management practices (BMPs) is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe a type of water pollution control. Historically the term has referred to auxiliary pollution controls in the fields of industrial wastewater control and municipal sewage control, while in stormwater management (both urban and rural) and wetland management, BMPs may refer to a principal control or treatment technique as well. Beginning in the 20th century, designers of industrial and municipal sewage pollution controls typically utilized engineered systems (e.
Organisms involved in water purification
Most organisms involved in water purification originate from the waste, wastewater or water stream itself or arrive as resting spore of some form from the atmosphere. In a very few cases, mostly associated with constructed wetlands, specific organisms are planted to maximise the efficiency of the process. Biota are an essential component of most sewage treatment processes and many water purification systems. Most of the organisms involved are derived from the waste, wastewater or water stream itself or from the atmosphere or soil water.
Boue activée
Le procédé dit « à boues activées » utilise l'épuration biologique dans le traitement des eaux usées. C'est un mode d’épuration par cultures libres. Dans une filière de traitement des eaux (i.e. les différentes phases d'épuration pour une station donnée), le procédé à boues activées fait partie des traitements secondaires. Ce procédé provient de l'étude réalisée à Manchester par Arden et Lockett. Ils mettront au point la technique d'abord dans un seul bassin, puis par la suite l'amélioreront par l'ajout d'autres bassins et étapes.
