Abstract |
This project had two major objectives: (1) to evaluate the amenability of algae-laden lagoon effluent to chlorine disinfection; and (2) to evaluate the performance of a multi-cell lagoon system in removing coliform bacteria by natural means without the need for disinfection. Results indicate that adequate disinfection was obtained with combined chlorine residual within a contact period of 60 minutes. Filtered effluent was found to exert less chlorine demand tha unfiltered. Temperature, sulfide, and total chemical oxygen demand were the most important factors affecting the chlorine dose necessary to achieve a specified bacteriological quality. A mathematical model was developed and a series of design curves were constructed for use in selecting the optimal chlorine dosages needed for achieving prescribed levels of disinfection. Total and fecal coliform removal in the lagoon system was related to hydraulic residence time. Coliform die-away rate was 16 times greater in summer months than in winter months. |
