Performance evaluation of a aerated lagoon under summer and winter conditions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20014930
A one-year study evaluated the performance of a full-scale aerated lagoon, located in the Midwest, under winter and summer conditions. The objective of this study was mainly to evaluate the affect of temperature on BOD{sub 5}, suspended solids, and ammonia nitrogen removal. Influent and effluent samples were collected, for one-year, from this aerated lagoon system. The collected (monthly grab) influent and effluent samples were analyzed for BOD{sub 5}, suspended solids, ammonia nitrogen, organic nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen. In addition, samples were also analyzed for total phosphorus, total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, E. Coli, fecal coliforms and temperature.
