Operational and Training Manual for Algal-based Tertiary Treatment in Maturation Ponds of the Motetema Wastewater Treatment Works

Résumé du livre

"Pond systems are ideally suited for use in small rural communities, because they are simple and economical to operate and maintain. The algal-based tertiary treatment (phycoremediation) used in this project utilises a specific consortium of algal species to remove nutrients and create conditions for effective solar disinfection to reduce pathogens. The intention is to implement a self-sustaining system that is independent of electricity or expensive chemicals and that can be effectively operated within financial and capacity constraints."--Executive summary
