[ noun ] water mixed with waste matter

Used in print

(Ross E. McKinney and Howard Edde, "Aerated...)

Research at Fayette_, Missouri on oxidation ponds has shown that the BOD in the treated effluent varied from 30 to 53 mg / l with loadings from 8 to 120 lb BOD / day / acre .

Since experience indicates that effluents from oxidation ponds do not create major problems at these BOD concentrations , the goal for the effluent quality of the accelerated treatment system was the same as from conventional oxidation ponds .

The effluent was collected through two pipes and discharged to the Blue_River through a surface drainage_ditch .

The long retention period and the complete mixing concept prevented rapid changes in either the mixed liquor or in the effluent .
