Most small towns, all over the world, utilize lagoons for treating their wastewater. Many rural industries also utilize lagoons for storm-water and wastewater treatment. While industrial plants may be able to pay for activated sludge treatment of one design or another, small municipalities simply do not have a choice in treating their small populations’ wastes. If the town’s population is not
growing, the costs imposed for maintaining a wastewater plant are just not viable on

Trial of Lagoon Master Water Moving Aerator to determine

Old municipal and industrial wastewater lagoons have the tendency to build islands of sludge at various locations around the lagoon. It is most common for older lagoons to build such islands wherever wastewater enters the lagoons. Of course, this is because the solids entering the lagoon have enough weight to fall out of the water as flow velocity is reduced, so the solids pile up just after entering the lagoon. Sometimes these sludge islands will build very near a surface aerator because the

Problem: High fecal coliform and E. coli counts, odor

Problem: Broken diffused aeration system allows sludge buildup of 7` along one side of lagoon.

Wastewater treatment plants are constantly facing the battle of reducing sludge while trying to keep the cost of energy down. The city of Meridian, Mississippi, which operates two wastewater treatment plants, used to fall into this category until it was introduced to the Sewper Rx, a patented bio-augmentation process designed to reduce noxious odor and organic sludge build-up, while improving effluent quality, in the summer of 2005

CONCORDIA, MO - POP. ~2000 43 year-old Lagoon System: 1-17 acre aeration lagoon, 1-8 acre settling lagoon, 1-3 acre polishing lagoon. State of Missouri DEQ Permit limits 30mg/l TSS & 30 mg/l BOD. This lagoon system had not met permit for 8 years

Cabo San Lucus Mexico is known for its deep-water fishing, beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels, and as an overall vacation destination for travelers from around the world. About one and a quarter miles north of the town is a golf course, located next to the town`s municipal wastewater lagoons. The location of the golf course was specifically to utilize treated lagoon water for irrigation. The very arid position of Cabo does not lend itself to the rainfall required to keep a golf course natura

Memorial Park Pump Station:

The Memorial Park Pump Station (MPPS) transfers wastewater flows from Memorial Park to Chapel Street WWTP and/or Te Maunga WWTP. It is a large pump station (PS) installed within a 9.0m diameter concrete structure. The pump station is approximately 12m deep, with a 6.5m maximum water depth and split into several compartments, as shown in the illustrations below.

The MPPS has a peak wet weather flow of 890 l/s and operates in several
