Anaerobic Waste Stabilization Ponds: A Low-cost Contribution to a Sustainable Wastewater Reuse Cycle
Prof. P.S.Navaraj
Abstract
Waste stabilization ponds (WSP) have been used extensively all over tamilnadu over the
last few yrs for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters. Models proposed
in manuals should be used only for guidance, and local experience from pilot and fullscale
plants of a particular pond type is extremely valuable. Anaerobic WSP are singlestage,
continuous- flow, anaerobic reactors operating at ambient temperatures and low
volumetric organic loading as a pretreatment method. This article presents a literature
review on the different available operational parameters of anaerobic ponds and
examples from full-scale plant performance worldwide. On a wastewater management
scheme, involving reuse for agriculture, the zero-energy demand of a waste stabilization
pond series for the effective removal of organic and microbiological loading under
existing legislation and guidelines will remain a valuable tool for sustainable
development.
