Description:
This project evaluates a full-scale wastewater treatment facility emphasizing the overland flow process in northern Indiana, which has a cold climate. The other processes include mechanical pretreatment, a storage lagoon, a lagoon for batch chemical treatment of the overland flow effluent, and rapid infiltration. The report describes the design, construction and operation of the system and includes the many problems associated cold weather. The efficiency of the overland flow process via seasons is given along with recommended changes in design and operation.
