Abstract
Michigan State University constructed on 200 ha (500 acres) of the main campus, a permanent facility for the experimental treatment, recycle and reuse of municipal sewage plant effluents. The facility provides for the diversion of up to 7570 cu m/day (2 MGD) of secondary effluent from an activated sludge treatment plant. This waste flow is directed away from the receiving stream to an intensely managed aquatic and terrestrial nutrient recycling system. The facility consists of a portion of the East Lansing Wastewater Treatment Plant, a transmission line, four experimental lakes and a spray irrigation site. A primary objective is to strip nutrients from the waste flow as it proceeds through the system by incorporating nutrients into harvestable biomass. The system has been in operation with tertiary effluent for about 18 months. It will go on line with secondary effluent in 1976. Biological activity in the aquatic system has a major impact on water quality as evidenced by significantly reduced water concentrations of phosphorus, nitrogen and inorganic carbon.
