Reclamation Plant is used to describe a plant that treats a portion of a municipal wastewater for local reclamation use. These plants typically do not treat or dewater residual solids but return all sludges, scum, grit, etc. back to the main flow of the wastewater for processing at a larger or a main plant, downstream. A reclamation plant is for the purpose of reclaiming and converting to other uses the salvable material consigned to the scrap plant and therefore usually is located near the scrap plant & operated under the same supervision.
