  The suitability of waste stabilization pond (WSP) as a cheaper alternative in the treatment of brewery wastewater effluent was investigated. A pilot WSP was designed and constructed and test run for the treatment brewery wastewater effluent. Wastewater effluents were collected from an operating brewing industry in Kudenda light industrial layout, Kaduna. The influent pond flow rate of 0.2 m3/day was chosen for the design of the pilot pond. Kinetic model design procedure of a facultative pond was used to design a rectangular shaped pond to reduce the BOD loading by 90%. The pond capacity was 4.7 m3 (4700 litres) with a retention time of 25 days. The parameters that were analyzed for the raw and treated wastewater include: Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total suspended solids (TSS), Turbidity and Electrical conductivity (EC). It was observed that aerobic .. View More»
