Applications of Walsh and related functions : with an introduction to sequency theory

A method is provided for rapidly producing a treated waste mixture separable into a disposable mass of solids and a hygenic effluent of relatively low coliform count. The method of treating aqueous mediums involves steps wherein a mixture of aqueous medium and four chemical additives, plus, if desired, a pH control agent, are established as a mixture in a holding zone, the solids of the mixture having a particle size resulting from recirculation between the holding zone and a zone adapted to effect coarse disintegration of any solids exceeding a predetermined size, passing the mixture thru an airtight liquid flow system under conditions to maintain solids in suspension and then separating the liquid portion thereof from the solids associated therewith for disposal as a hygenic effluent.
