How Municipal Sewage Collection Works Municipal and regional sewage systems can either be sanitary sewage only, or sanitary sewage </I>and</I> storm water. Systems that handle storm water are designed with extra large pipes downstream to handle increased flows (called load) during the most extreme storms possible. The treatment facility also must be large enough to handle extra water during storms and floods otherwise overflows occur. One problem is that regional development can outgrow a water-handling system before action can be taken to accommodate the growth. Numerous treatment facilities have been overwhelmed during extreme storms and floods.

How a Bio-oxidation Plant Works Bio-oxidation treatment is a final step in cleaning excess process water or waste ammonia liquor that originates from coke oven gas produced during the coking process.

The treated water can then be sent to a sewage treatment plant where the remaining ammonia is "eaten" by yet another strain of bacteria and made safe to discharge into a river.
