dc.descriptionWaste stabilization pond (WSP) is globally one of the most popular wastewater treatment options due to its high efficiency and low cost. A field scale prototype was designed and scaled down to a pilot-scale model using dimensional analysis in the development of the foot print size. Pilot-scale reactors were built with the specifications produced from literature suggested reactor geometric configurations and experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance of optimized pilot-scale WSP configurations. The optimized pilot scale WSPs consisted of an anaerobic, facultative, and a maturation stage with varying baffle orientation, length to width ratio, and depth. Comparisons were made on the optimized pilot-scale WSP reactors. The removal performance of the experimental test was based on a number of parameters (Faecal coliform, pH, TDS, and Conductivity). Results showed that the significantly lower cost design displayed slightly better removal performance compared to other WSP design developed from literature data. This paper covers a relevant subject within the field of waste stabilization ponds, namely the representation of the influence of reactor design on the treatment performance of WSP.
