Domestic sewage in large cities:

1. is processed by aerobic and then anaerobic bacteria in the secondary treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant (STPs)
2. when treated in STPs, does not require the aeration step as the sewage contains adequate oxygen
3. has very high amounts of suspended solids and dissolved salts
4. has a high BOD as it contains both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
