Treatment
(1) Any method, technique, or process designed to remove solids and/or pollutants from solid waste, waste-streams, effluents, and air emissions.
Pretreatment
Processes used to reduce, eliminate, or alter the nature of wastewater pollutants from non-domestic sources before they are discharged into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs).

KINDS OF TREATMENTS
Silvicultural treatments fall into one of two categories: ...
Chemical Treatment- Any one of a variety of technologies that use chemicals or a variety of chemical processes to treat waste.
Tertiary treatment. The treatment of wastewater beyond the secondary or biological stage. Normally implies the removal of nutrients, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, and a high percentage of suspended solids.
Secondary Treatment: The second step in most publicly owned waste treatment systems in which bacteria consume the organic parts of the waste.
Wastewater Treatment Plant: A facility that receives wastewater (and sometimes runoff) from domestic and/or industrial sources, and by a combination of physical, chemical, ...
Innovative Treatment Technologies: Technologies whose routine use is inhibited by lack of data on performance and cost. (See: Established treatment technologies.) ...
Wastewater treatment plant: A facility containing a series of tanks, screens, filters, and other processes by which pollutants are removed from water.
cleanup - treatment, remediation, or destruction of contaminated material.
clearcutting - a logging technique in which all trees are removed from an area, typically 20 acres or larger, with little regard for long-term forest health.
in situ treatment Water treatment conducted in place, as opposed to removal of the water to another location for treatment. infiltration The flow of water downward from the land surface into and through the upper soil layers.
Wastewater treatment - A facility designed to receive the wastewater from domestic sources and to remove materials that damage water quality and threaten public health and safety when discharged into receiving streams or bodies of water.
Both the liquid and the vapor can cause severe burns to all parts of the body, and medical treatment is required for all exposures. In fact, HF burns covering only 2% of the body can be fatal.
Gray and or Black Water Treatment - Gray water is any water that is used in a home except water that is used to flush toilets, which is called black water.
There were few treatment options"just surgery and high doses of radiation"and they weren't very effective.
