TWD: Where does my poop go? (feat. Jun Wei)

<p>What happens when we flush our toilets? On today’s episode we have a special guest, Jun Wei (linkedin.com/in/jun-wei-goh-吴畯纬-1b290b88), an Environmental Engineering graduate student, to tell us all about wastewater treatment in Singapore. We cover the activated sludge process, where we learn that diversity is important, just like our gut microbiome! Next up, we have the secondary sedimentation process (separating the nasties from what we want to keep) and solid management. Listen on to find out about all this and more, including the highway of poop!</p> <p><strong>TLDR:</strong> In Singapore, wastewater will (pass through your neighbour’s house!) be collected in the public sewer that serves your area and be transported to the water reclamation plant or wastewater treatment plant.</p> <p>Disclaimer: This episode contains mildly explicit language.</p> <p>Links:</p> <p><a href="https://www.pub.gov.sg/usedwater/treatment/usedwatertreatmentprocess"><u>https://www.pub.gov.sg/usedwater/treatment/usedwatertreatmentprocess</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pub.gov.sg/Documents/requirements_UW.pdf"><u>https://www.pub.gov.sg/Documents/requirements_UW.pdf</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pub.gov.sg/dtss/about"><u>https://www.pub.gov.sg/dtss/about</u></a></p> <p>Socials:</p> <p>instagram.com/thelabdoctors</p> <p>twitter.com/thelabdoctors</p> <p>Email: thelabdoctors@gmail.com</p> <p>Credit for theme music: Fresh Time by Roa https://soundcloud.com/roa_music1031</p>
