Abstract

Wastewater treatment by low-rate activated sludge in aerobic stabilization ponds is a treatment process that has been, for most Algerian towns, the preferred tool for treating their wastewater because it has proven most reliable and easier to operate. The wastewater treatment plant of the City of Setif (Algeria) is a good example for this type of process. It has a capacity of 330,000 pop-equivalents and has been designed to accommodate 66,000 m3/d in dry weather. The work is based on the technical analysis from 2007. The mathematical model for the secondary clarifier was developed, including, propose a modified expression of the settling velocity. The treatment of the pollution parameters has been estimated. The test results have been updated, so that the results correspond to the present Algerian normalization.
