2. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

   Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS in water can be measured using a digital meter.

3. Fresh water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_water

   Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. Although the term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water, it does include non-salty mineral-rich waters such as chalybeate springs. Fresh water may encompass frozen and ...

4. Secondary treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_treatment

   Secondary treatment. This small secondary clarifier at a rural sewage treatment plant is a typical phase separation mechanism to remove biological solids formed in a suspended growth or fixed-film bioreactor. Secondary treatment (mostly biological wastewater treatment) is the removal of biodegradable organic matter (in solution or suspension ...

5. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

   The electrolytic conductivity of ultra-high purity water increases as a function of temperature (T) due to the higher dissociation of H 2 O in H + and OH − with T. In many cases, conductivity is linked directly to the total dissolved solids (TDS). High quality deionized water has a conductivity of

6. Total suspended solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_suspended_solids

   Total suspended solids (TSS) is the dry-weight of suspended particles, that are not dissolved, in a sample of water that can be trapped by a filter that is analyzed using a filtration apparatus known as sintered glass crucible. TSS is a water quality parameter used to assess the quality of a specimen of any type of water or water body, ocean ...

7. Sewage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage

   Sewage consists primarily of water and usually contains less than one part of solid matter per thousand parts of water. In other words, one can say that sewage is composed of around 99.9% pure water, and the remaining 0.1% are solids, which can be in the form of either dissolved solids or suspended solids.
