Use of Radioisotope Techniques in Preliminary Studies of the Hydraulic Behaviour of Wastewater Treatment Lagoons

摘要

Radiotracer tests in the maturation lagoons of two sewage treatment plants show that flow behaviour departs markedly from the idealised flows generally assumed in formulating models of lagoon performance. During daylight hours at least, flow was sharply stratified/ this is shown to be related to temperature stratification. (Atomindex citation 12:616301)
