Pilot and laboratory scale experiments were carried out under ambient conditions to investigate the design criteria for septage anaerobic lagoon systems. Septage was fed manually to the anaerobic lagoons using hydraulic detention times of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 days. The performance of the lagoons in terms of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the effluent obtained were evaluated. The experimental results revealed that an 87 % COD (89 % BOD) removal efficiency at the volumetric loading about 3720 kg COD/1000m3 d could be achieved.
