Use of Hydrodynamic Models for Optimum Design of Stabilization Ponds: Case Study Rubiales, Colombia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of stabilization ponds for the treatment of wastewater is traditionally based on empirical guidelines. Even more the hydraulic design is normally over simplify. However, the performance of a pond will highly depend on the proper hydraulic design. This paper present an approach that combines the traditional empirical design with the use of modelling tools to predict the performance of the ponds. The approach proposed is tested in a case study for the design of an anaerobic pond in Colombia. The results show that with the approach proposed the design of the pond can be optimized.

Baffle and fixed media effects on coliform removal and bacterial die-off rate coefficient in waste stabilization ponds (a case study in Ahvaz)
Background: The use of waste stabilization ponds is one of the cheapest wastewater treatment processes. This study evaluated the effects of baffles and fixed media on coliform removal in facultative lagoons. Methods: In this study, the settled wastewater from four pond systems of the city of Ahvaz was used as input. Each system was composed of two ponds that were connected to each other serial...

Due to territorial condition and available land in Iran cities, Stabilization Ponds are one of the best choices for wastewater treatment. Studies whole the world indicates that treated water from a well design pond is more reliable than other systems. The other point for accepting this system is related to low cost of installation and operation. The present study is about Khomein city of stab...
متن کاملBacterial Proliferation Reduces Sulphur Toxicity in Stabilization Ponds: Safer Water Resources by Photosynthesis
Background: Studies suggest that sulfur may react with plants or monocellular organisms, such as fungi, to produce toxic agents. It has been theorized that sulfur enters cells and affects their respiration. This study reports on a phototroph development that leads to the diminution and/or production of sulfur and release of hydrogen sulfide from public ponds. Methods: This study was conducted ...
