    Provisional Burrow's Improvements in Treating Sewage, Src. compound in a tank or other receptacle into which sewage is permitted to flow. The action of the sulphate of iron and lime or other reagent is to deposit the solid and other impurities in the sewage or other matter at the bottom of the tank, leaving the liquid clear to he run off as desired. The deposit is to be afterwards removed and treated in any 5 suitable known manner. In some cases the deposit would be mixed with town or other refuse, in order to serve for fuel.
