Environment & Ecology / LAGOON EFFLUENT

English term or phrase: old sludge

Lagoon effluent problems have a number of causes. The most common are: organic overloading and accompanying low dissolved oxygen conditions; short hydraulic detention time or short circuiting; algae or sulfur bacteria overgrowth; old sludge accumulation; and partial nitrification.

Microscopic examination of the effluent can also identify short circuiting and sludge accumulation problems. Here, raw sewage materials and especially toilet paper fibers are diagnostic of short circuiting. The observation of old sludge particles in the effluent indicates excess sludge accumulation and loss of this to the effluent.
