Enteroviruses were isolated from influent and effluent wastewaters of two types of oxidation lagoons during an 18-month study. Isolations, performed by sewage concentration and direct assay, were low in number and did not follow a seasonal trend. The younger treatment system, using aeration and effluent chlorination, was more efficient at removing viruses than the aging, static complex.

Over the last ten years there has been an increasing awareness of the impacts of uncontrolled biological waste discharge into the receiving waters. The types of impact such discharges produce in the receiving waters are discussed. Early standards were based on overseas research but there is now a substantial body of New Zealand based work. Initial research concentrated on dairy shed discharges ...

Current methods to remove algae from a liquid medium are energy intensive and expensive. This study characterized algae contained within a wastewater oxidation pond and sought to identify a more efficient harvesting technique. Analysis of oxidation pond wastewater revealed that algae, consisting primarily of Chlorella and Scenedesmus, composed approximately 80% of the solids inventory during th...
