Supplementary aeration of lagoons in rigorous climate areas
1971
Champlin, Robert L.
A pilot scale field investigation of the effects of supplemental aeration on waste stabilization lagoons was conducted at Laramie, Wyoming, a low temperature, high altitude area. Both batch and complete mixed experiments were conducted using constant air flows. Loading rates, both hydraulic and process, were varied. The supplemental aeration provided both aeration and mixing, thereby increasing metabolic rates. BOD reductions varied from 72 to 85% under three different loadings, at temperatures of less than 12°C. No settleable solids were found in the effluent from the aerated system. Series operation was demonstrated to have the advantages of damping variations in quality parameters, providing for shock loading, and reducing coliform counts to minimum levels.
