COMMISSIOING METHOD OF STATEMENT As the plant has to be put in operation , a start up procedure is outlined hereafter.

However in order to have a proper start up and subsequent operation there are some preliminary pres tart up activities to be done which have listed below as follows. 1.

In a warm climate, such as in the ,iddle #ast, it is usual to row sufficient bacteria in two wee.s in summer or four wee.s in winter. Durin this period, the secondary effluent will not be of adequate quality to pump to the sand filter or for it to be adequately disinfected. "herefore it will not be suitable for irri ation purpose. Inadequate secondary effluent can be reco ni5ed by its hi h turbidity 3not transparent4 and should be disposed of, usually by road tan.er, to a safe disposal ii.
