In an ideal case it is necessary to immediately remove the content of the wastewater treatment plant and to liquidate it in a professional manner. Then it is necessary to load the wastewater treatment plant with new activated sludge or to let it run. However, in practice the easiest manner is to completely empty the wastewater treatment plant and then to let it run again or to wait as long as the harmful substance has discharged itself and after restoration of conditions suitable for the life of the activated sludge, it is fully restored within 3-4 weeks.
