The large part of the Russian Federation locates in arctic and subarctic climatic zones, which determine the specificity of design, construction and operation of sewage systems of these regions. Nowadays, the most part of small Arctic towns has no wastewater treatment facilities, while the available biological treatment facilities do not work properly. An alternative way is physicochemical treatment, which is more resistant to severe climate and volley wastewater discharge than biological treatment. The paper presents the research results of total change the biological into physicochemical treatment. The main stages of such a treatment include coagulation, filtration, oxidation and two-stage filtration (mechanical and absorption). The experiments show a 90.8% decrease in the concentration of chemical oxygen and a 74% and 82.5% decrease in nitrates and ammonium.
