[edit] Body parts

  • I would remove body parts from the list --Melaen 23:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The inclusion comes from practical experience especially of sewage streams below slaughter houses. In one example the floor of the inlet channel was covered in eyes from slaughterd cattle because of poor management control at the slaughterhouse. However, I would be content if it was deleted.

[edit] Sewage merge to Wastewater

  • I have added a suggestion that this [= the article sewage ] be merged with wastewater. Think there's enough overlap for these to be treated in one article. Cphi 20:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I have added suggestion to merge the sewage entry into this one. In my experience sewage is defined as anything containing human waste, irrespective of other contents. There is therefore a huge degree of overlap with wastewater. The current sewage article is quite poor so it may simply be a matter of replacing it with a redirect. Cphi 20:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I did the merge. Anthony Appleyard 09:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Strong oppose I disagree wastewater may have sewage as a constituent but it does not mean that it is the same thing. I am working on differentiation of different waste types and associated waste management practices.--Alex 13:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UASB merge to Wastewater

UASB = Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket technology

Re the UASB merge to Wastewater:

  • Strong oppose. In its previous form, yes that's a fair suggestion. But it deserves its own article. I have begun work on it. --Singkong2005 03:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • oppose. standing as an article in its own right, especially with a competent and willing author Singkong. Anlace 22:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Since UASB is still quite short, perhaps merge it to Sewage treatment? Anthony Appleyard 09:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


Sewage treatment does make more sense than Wastewater. However, it's a great article now (thanks notably to Alex a.k.a. Vortexrealm). I think we can consider the discussion closed, with no merge. --Chriswaterguy talk 09:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC) (formerly Singkong2005)

[edit] Urine contaminant

A bit surprised that urine is presented as a contaminant at the same level as feces. Urine is sterile. ?? Thanks for explanation Basicdesign (talk) 02:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
