| Abstract: | A 16m by 10m aerated lagoon of depth 2.5m was designed for fish pond wastewater treatment. This was done to encourage the recycling aquaculture system of wastewater management. A sedimentation tank of 5.5m surface diameter with a total volume of 367.92m3 and side slope of 2:1 was also designed to take care of settleable solids in the wastewater. These were done after biological analysis of wastewater from a commercial fish farm has been done. From the analysis, the average ratio of four hour permanganate value and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) was 1:5 which rendered the wastewater treatable by biological method (aerated lagoon). A diffused unit aerator of 3 hp compressor over a 50mm diameter pipe was also recommended with a retention period few days. |
