Question

In sewage treatment, flocs are :

A.

the solids that settle during sedimentation

B.

the supernatant that is formed above the primary sludge.

C.

the masses of bacteria associated with fungal filaments.

D.

the bacteria which grow anaerobically and are also called anaerobic sludge digesters.

Correct option is C

During secondary treatment/biological treatment of sewage, the primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks where it is constantly agitated mechanically and air is pumped into it. This allows vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs that are masses of bacteria associated with fungal filaments to form mesh like structures.
