ABSTRACT:
Steps are disclosed in a method for the complete treatment of sanitary sewage comprising water containing suspended or dissolved organic matter, the concentration of which is measured by biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). A part of the method relies upon a waste stabilization pond containing algae for aerobic decomposition of the organic matter, followed by removal of algae in a second algae removal pond. Another aspect of the invention is provision of a polishing pond constructed with a circumferential weir for maximizing exposure to sunlight and for aeration. A further aspect of the method of the invention involves optional provision of a facultative pond of increased capacity for reduction of BOD by use of combined aerobic and anaerobic treatment which avoids the drawbacks commonly associated with entirely anaerobic treatment processes.
