Application of Oxygen to Treat Waste from Military Field Installations; Part I. Inactivation of Virus in Bench-Scale Oxygenated Waste Stabilization Ponds.
Abstract
Waste stabilization ponds can provide low cost and reliable treatment if properly designed. Design loadings for ponds treating municipal wastewater vary between 20 and 70 pounds BOD/acre/day depending upon the climate and geological location. An average loading of 50 pounds BOD/acre/day has become the accepted design figure. If the design loading is exceeded for a significant length of time, the pond will generate odors, produce an effluent of poor quality and become less efficient in inactivating bacteria and virus. This overloaded condition may be corrected by supplying high purity oxygen to satisfy the additional oxygen demand.
