Abstract
Abstract A process for biological treatment of sewage is disclosed, characterized by the addition of a high-activated sludge containing a culture of heterotrophical bacteria to the sewage as an inoculum, before or after the inlet of a biological oxidizing means. The high-activated sludge is produced of at least a portion of the separated primary sludge by aeration in a separate cultivating basin.
