Abstract :

Two aquarium model waste stabilization tanks made up of plexiglass of size 45 x 30 x 30 cm with 6 cm free board were used for the investigation. One was kept in the laboratory and the other on the terrace (field). The holding capacity of each tank was 32.4 litres. For inlet a separate over head plastic tank (20L) was used, the outlet was fixed at a height of 24 cm from the bottom. The effluent samples were analysed for physico-chemical parameters such as light, temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen (DO), alkalinity, carbon dioxide (CO), nitrate (NO) and phosphate (PO) and biological parameters, especially chlorophyll-a,b,c and qualitative and quantitative analysis of phytoplankton and zooplankton, and the correlation studies was carried out by SQUANA based on C++ and the results were discussed.
