EXAMINING PERFORMANCE OF STABILIZATION PONDS OF AHVAZ'S SLAUGHTERHOUSE
Abstract
A waste stabilization pond (WSP) is a hole in which household wastewater and other
types of sewage are stored for long periods so that organic materials existing in them are deposited,
decomposed and stabilized through exposure to light, heat, growth of algae and microorganisms. In this
study, wastewater samples collected and treated by the treatment plant of a slaughterhouse in Ahvaz
region of Iran and compared the relevant measured parameters with the standards, which set by the
Environmental Protection Organization of Iran in order to determine the efficiency of WSPs in treating
wastewater and making them usable for irrigation purposes. The results indicate that Turbidity, BOD5,
PH, COD, TDS, and TSS values for the treated wastewater stood at >1000 NTU, 912 mg/l, 8.78, 1520 mg/l,
1052 mg/l, and 2180 mg/l respectively. A comparison of these values with the standard values set by the
Environmental Protection Organization of Iran revealed a significant difference. This finding shows that
the wastewater treatment plant under study had a poor productivity and performance. The wastewater
treated by that facility should not be used for irrigation or discharge into surface water.
