Abstract | A pilot rapid infiltration wastewater treatment system consisting of three 0.07 hectare basins was operated for four seasons at Brookings, South Dakota. The objectives of the study were to demonstrate that rapid infiltration land treatment could upgrade stabilization pond effluent to meet stringent effluent requirements and to identify winter operating constraints for the system. After passing through 1.3 m of the soil profile, the following quality was observed: BOD5 was less than 4 mg/l all of the time and generally less than 2 mg/l; the suspended solids rarely exceeded 4 mg/l; total phosphorus rarely exceeded 1 mg/l; ammoniacal nitrogen was less than 2 mg/l and usually less than 1.1 mg/l; and nitrate nitrogen rarely exceeded 10 mg/l. Winter operation of the pilot units with intermittent applications was not practical. Ice accumulated with each successive flooding and operation had to be discontinued in early January. |
