Primary sedimentation typically removes suspended solids in the range

  • A.5 to 10 per cent
  • B.85 to 95 per cent
  • C.99 per cent or more
  • D.50 to 70 per cent

Answer: D

Correct answer: 50 to 70 per cent

Primary sedimentation is simple settlement, so it removes what will settle in a couple of hours - about two thirds of the suspended solids and a third of the biochemical oxygen demand. The dissolved and colloidal fraction passes through, which is what the biological stage exists to treat.
