Abstract

Microbiological investigations on the efficiency of the Oxfam sanitation system in Bengali refugee camps showed that the combined system of anaerobic digestion and retention is effective in reducing the bacterial and suspended solid content of raw sewage. The efficiency of Vibrio and coliform removal was > 96%; Ascaris numbers were reduced by 97% whereas the efficiency of suspended solid removal was > 91%. © 1980.
