Evaluation of two aerated lagoons

McKinney, R.E. / Benjes, Jr., H.H.

Field studies of two aerated lagoons treating domestic sewage over 2-yr period yielded 63% BOD reduction with 1.7 days aeration and 78% BO D reduction with 7.1 days aeration; use of oxidation ponds after using aerated lagoons increased BOD reductions to 85% and 88%; it appeared that mechanical aerator-mixers could produce complete mixing with from 1/5 to 1/4 hp/1000 cu ft aeration volume; bacterial cells were primarily responsible for effluent BOD from aerated lagoon; algae were responsible for effluent BOD from oxidation ponds.
