background: today, treated wastewater recycling and reuse has been considered for agricultural irrigation. this can potentially cause health and environmental hazards. since accessing the engelberg index for sewage is a necessity, this study was undertaken on integrated stabilization ponds (isp) of isfahan east wastewater treatment plant, isfahan, iran. methods: this cross-section study was con...

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...

This paper presents the stabilization potential of Class F pond ash (PA) from a coal fired thermal power station on tropical peat soil. Peat or highly organic soils are well known for their high compressibility, natural moisture content, low shear strength and long-term settlement. This study investigates the effect of different amount (i.e., 5, 10, 15 and 20%) of PA on peat soil, collected fro...

At Vidaråsen in Norway sewage from a community consisting of 160 people, including a dairy, a food processing workshop, a bakery and a laundry is treated using a pond/reed bed system. The system consists of sludge settlement, pre-treatment surface/vertical-flow constructed wetlands, a 5 m deep enhanced facultative pond, three stabilization ponds, a planted sand filter and finally two horizontal...

Background: The effective size of the end grain of horizontal roughing filters (HRFs) is larger than 2 mm. This study aimed to examine the efficiency of HRFs in removing nitrate, phosphate, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from effluent of a wastewater stabilization pond. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in 2013. The pilot project was transferred to the Karaj wastewater treatment ...

Waste stabilization pond systems are widely used to treat animal wastes under highly variable hydraulic loading regimes. These systems have received limited research attention with regard to their hydrodynamic behaviour and the potential impact of shock hydraulic loading on their performance. In this study a two-stage dairy shed waste stabilisation pond system was topographically surveyed to de...

Wind has an important effect on the behavior of ponds as it induces vertical mixing of the pond contents. Good mixing ensures a more uniform distribution and higher dispersion number within the pond and hence a better degree of waste stabilization. This study developed a mathematical model for the prediction of Coliform bacteria ( ce /co) on waste stabilization pond performance. The model was d...
