  2. Waste stabilization pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_stabilization_pond

    Main configurations of waste stabilization pond systems. Waste stabilization ponds consist of man-made basins comprising a single or several series of anaerobic, facultative or maturation ponds. [11] The presence or absence of oxygen varies with the three different types of ponds, used in sequence. Anaerobic waste stabilization ponds have very ...

  4. Facultative lagoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facultative_lagoon

    Facultative lagoon (polishing pond) providing tertiary treatment after a constructed wetland in Hamburg-Allermöhe, Germany. Overflow from the facultative lagoon may be routed through one or more polishing ponds supporting lower populations of anaerobic micro-organisms and a higher proportion of aerobic organisms adapted to survival in lower concentrations of organic material.

  5. Aerated lagoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerated_lagoon

    An aerated lagoon (or aerated pond) is a simple wastewater treatment system consisting of a pond with artificial aeration to promote the biological oxidation of wastewaters. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  6. Treatment pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_pond

    A treatment pond is intended to provide wastewater treatment to achieve a certain effluent quality. Ponds are depressions holding water confined by earthen structures. Kinds of treatment pond include: Aerated lagoons rely upon mechanical aerators providing oxygen to reduce the organic content measured as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

  7. Sewage treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment

    The activated sludge process, sand filters, waste stabilization ponds, constructed wetlands and other processes can all be used to reduce nitrogen. [ 25 ] : 17–18 Since denitrification is the reduction of nitrate to dinitrogen (molecular nitrogen) gas, an electron donor is needed.

  8. Anaerobic lagoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_lagoon

    An anaerobic lagoon or manure lagoon is a man-made outdoor earthen basin filled with animal waste that undergoes anaerobic respiration as part of a system designed to manage and treat refuse created by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Anaerobic lagoons are created from a manure slurry, which is washed out from underneath the ...

  9. Waste pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_pond

    Plant waste, collected in a pond, was found to contain radioactive waste, including strontium-90, caesium-137; tritium, and transuranics. [citation needed] In the mid 1990s, Department of Energy officials installed a cryogenic stabilization system at the waste pond, freezing the soil and groundwater, forming a barrier to groundwater leaching ...
