Anaerobic Pond

A lagoon that forms the first treatment stage in waste stabilization ponds. It is a rather deep pond (3 to 5 m) with small surface area. As wastewater flows in, suspended solids settle to the ground and degraded by anaerobic microorganism. As for any anaerobic digestion process, biogas can be recovered and transformed to energy or light.
