Best available technologies in municipal wastewater management

Summary

On the basis of developing amendments of the Russian environmental legislation and analyzing the international experience the basic principles of applying the concept of best available technologies (BAT) to municipal wastewater management were developed. Twelve groups of best available technologies are suggested covering the entire range of economically achievable engineering and organizational measures carried out by water and wastewater utilities to minimize the environmental impact. Within these groups specific definitions of the best available technologies were set forth.
