-1- WASTE TREATMENT PROCESS AND APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment process and to the apparatus for accomplishing such process. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved method of treating wastewater which enhances the separation, concentration and treatment of poorly settleable and colloidal solids by fine sand filtration, thereby increasing the energy generation potential of the treatment process and reducing or eliminating subsequent biological treatment requirements. The present invention reduces capital expenditures and related energy costs. 2. Description of the Prior Art Solids contained in wastewater may be either suspended or dis- solved. They may be filterable or unfilterable, volatile or inert, and may or may not be biodegradable. These solids, as well as greases and oils typically present in wastewater, generally represent the most significant pollutant constituents, and it is these deleterious materials that must be either removed or treated in the wastewater treatment process.
