Partial Report Upon the Comprehensive Plan for the Collection, Purification and Disposal of the Sewage of the Entire City: Report of the Bureau of ... Station at Spring Garden, Philadelphia, 1910 - Softcover
Synopsis
Comprehensive report on city sewage treatment and disposal details the investigations and experiments conducted at the Spring Garden Sewage Experiment Station in Philadelphia during 1910–1911.
It presents the methods, setups, and observed outcomes of early filtration, disinfection, dilution, and sludge handling as part of a broader plan for the city’s sewerage system.
Designed for engineers, city planners, and public health officials, the volume combines technical descriptions with practical results. It covers the apparatus, operation, and performance of several treatment approaches, including filtration beds, spray and contact systems, and sludge management techniques. The work also situates these tests within the larger effort to create a comprehensive, citywide sewerage plan.
- Detailed descriptions of testing setups and equipment used at the Spring Garden station
- Observations on filtration methods, disinfection, and the impact on wastewater quality
