# As it relates to wastewater, tertiary treatment refers to the treatment steps added after the secondary treatment stage to remove specific constituents, such as nutrients, suspended solids, organics, heavy metals or dissolved solids (e.g. salts) (WHO 2006).

==Explanation==
Tertiary treatment refers to treatment processes downstream of secondary treatment, such
as (a) additional solids removal by flocculation, coagulation and sedimentation and/or
granular medium filtration; an (b) disinfection. When tertiary treatment processes are
used, the overall sequence of wastewater treatment processes is generally described as
"advanced wastewater treatment" (WHO 2006).

Tertiary treatment can sometimes be referred to as advanced treatment.

==Example==
High-rate processes are usually engineered systems built around complex infrastructure
that have high flow rates and low hydraulic retention times. They usually include a primary
treatment step to settle solids followed by a secondary treatment step to biodegrade
organic substances, and they may include tertiary of advanced processes for the removal of
specific contaminants (WHO 2006).

These systems are often expensive, especially when tertiary treatment processess are
required to meet microbial reduction targets (WHO 2006).
