Evaluation of post-treatment after wastewater stabilization ponds at municipal wastewater treatment plant.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study was to assess the operational conditions of the municipal wastewater treatment system. This system comprises a wastewater treatment plant that employs the activated sludge process, along with wastewater stabilization ponds as the third stage of treatment. The operating conditions of the wastewater stabilization ponds were observed during both normal operation and malfunction scenarios. The average values of the pollutant parameters at the inlet and outlet of the ponds did not differ significantly. However, an increase in the concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) and phosphates was observed at the ponds' outlet. Specifically, the TOC increased from 2.25 mg/dm³ (inlet) to 5.02 mg/dm³ (outlet), while phosphates rose from 0.34 mg
