Abstract

Anaerobic lagoons and storage ponds are frequently used for agricultural waste pre-treatment, and storage, respectively. This chapter introduces the anaerobic lagoon process, applications, limitations, performance, reliability, design considerations, energy consumption, capital cost, operation and maintenance costs, and process monitoring notes when the process is used for agricultural waste treatment. Practical design examples are presented in detail.
