Abstract
One of the major problems in operating high-rate oxidation ponds (HROP) so as to give the maximal yield of algae is the determination of the best combination of retention time and effluent depth under varying environmental conditions. The criteria for choosing these variables were determined by applying the results previously obtained from pilot and field ponds operated in Israel and via computer simulation techniques. Guidelines for operating the HROP under different climatic conditions are also discussed.
