Comparing the problems in Romania and Senegal, regarding wastewater treatment, the present paper aims to identify the best methods and techniques to treat the municipal wastewater in small treatment plants with sequential operation. This paper examines the possibility of using Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process to treat the municipal wastewater characterized by low flow. This paper also presents a comparative analysis of the degree of purification achieved in a SBR wastewater treatment plant, as well as legislative regulations in Romania and Senegal. Finally, the paper identifies the possible uses of the treated wastewater in different household activities.
