“…Results from the study conclude that the mathematical model can reduce cost by 11 %, the area requirement by 18 %, and the hydraulic retention time by 19 days. Lee and Cheong (2014) used numerical modeling to vary the L:W ratio, pond shape, flow rate, and depth under constant pressure and a steady state flow to understand its effects on pond flow characteristics to treat acid mine drainage (AMD). The authors found that the retention time in rectangular ponds decreased with increasing elongation.…”

This literature review examines process, design, and cost issues related to using oxidation ponds for wastewater treatment. Many of the topics have applications at either full scale or in isolation for laboratory analysis. Oxidation ponds have many advantages. The oxidation pond treatment process is natural, because it uses microorganisms such as bacteria and algae. This makes the method of treatment cost-effective in terms of its construction, maintenance, and energy requirements. Oxidation ponds are also productive, because it generates effluent that can be used for other applications. Finally, oxidation ponds can be considered a sustainable method for treatment of wastewater.
