Why combine biological and chemical wastewater treatment?

While acknowledging the invaluable role that biological processes play in wastewater treatment, chemical treatment brings some significant, measurable benefits when it comes to energy and plant optimization. Associating “bio” with sustainable may lead us to think that biological treatment must be more environmentally friendly than the combined chemical and biological alternative. Studying the facts reveals a slightly different story.
