Suspended solids
solids of organic and inorganic origin present in liquid effluents; concentration in (mg/l) measured by filtration followed by drying at 105 -C ...
Suspended solids (SS): Defined in waste management, these are small particles of solid pollutants that resist separation by conventional methods.
Suspended Solids: Small particles of solid pollutants that float on the surface of, or are suspended in, sewage or other liquids. They resist removal by conventional means.
suspended solids
(1) solids that either float on the surface of, or are in suspension in, water, wastewater, or other liquids, and which are largely removable by laboratory filtering.
Suspended solids
Solid organic or inorganic particles that are held in suspension in a solution.
Synergism ...
suspended solids : I)Solids that either float on the surface or are suspended in water or other liquids, and which are largely removable by laboratory filtering. 2) The quantity of material removed from water in a laboratory test.
dry suspended solids The weight of the filtrable suspended matter in wastewater or other liquid after drying for one hour at 103°.
dump A site, without environmental controls, used to dispose of solid waste.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS): A measure of the suspended solids in wastewater, effluent, or water bodies, determined by tests for "total suspended non-filterable solids." (See: suspended solids.) ...
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) (D):
TSS is the measure of the amount of non-dissolved solid material present in water or waste water.

TURBIDITY: A measure of suspended solids in water; cloudiness.
ULTRAFILTRATION (UF): A membrane filtration process that falls between reverse osmosis (RO) and microfiltration (MF) in terms of the size of particles removed.
A device that measures the cloudiness of suspended solids in a liquid; a measure of the quantity of suspended solids.

Turbidity: measure of water cloudiness due to suspended solids.
Unconfined (Water Table) Aquifer: water-bearing formation whose upper boundary is the water table (as opposed to a confining layer).
Secondary treatment. Generally, a level of treatment that produces 85 percent removal efficiencies for biological oxygen demand and suspended solids. Usually carried out through the use of trickling filters or by the activated sludge process.
Any treatment of sewage that goes beyond the secondary or biological water treatment stage and includes the removal of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen and a high percentage of suspended solids. (See primary, secondary treatment.)
Advection ...
Wastewater: Water that carries wastes from homes, businesses, and industries. It is usually a mixture of water and dissolved or suspended solids.
Advanced Wastewater Treatment: Any treatment of sewage that goes beyond the secondary or biological water treatment stage and includes the removal of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen and a high percentage of suspended solids.
