Eckmann, D E

The advanced waste treatment plant at Roanoke, Virginia is described with attention given to the facilities, the activated sludge process, the nitrification process, the flocculation-coagulation process, filtration, disinfection, sludge, plant effluent, energy requirements, and costs. The Roanoke plant costs about 50% more to construct than a typical activated sludge plant and uses about 60% more energy but discharges an effluent that looks like drinking water and meets the stringent permit standards established for the plant.
