Wastewater treatment:

1. Wastewater treatment, also known as sewage treatment, is the removal of pollutants from wastewater, or sewage before it reaches natural water such as rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans.
2. Wastewater is treated with heterotrophic microorganisms before being disposed of in a sewage treatment facility to reduce pollution.

Bar screen function:

1. In a sewage treatment plant, a bar screen removes large solids from the water.
2. As the drainage passes through the bar screen, it can remove large solids such as rags, napkins, sticks, cans, plastic bags, and polyethylene that are present in the drainage.
