  This paper aimed to the study of microbiological quality of wastewater effluents issued from a sand filter system used as a secondary treatment; this sand filter was coupled to UV irradiation system as a tertiary treatment to assume their possible application as alternatives to chemical disinfection of municipal wastewater before agronomic utilization. For that reason, an infiltration basin of 100 m² of area equipped with two wells of sampling, in the center and in the periphery, has been constructed on the irrigated perimeter of Dissa in Gabes (south east of Tunisia). A comparative study was undertaken concerning the quality of effluents obtained from the sand filter as secondary effluent and from the UV irradiation disinfection system as a tertiary municipal wastewater treatment. Both the combined systems gave effluent of excellent microbiological quality (almost total absence .. Read More»
