Abstract

The study was conducted at the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club from April 16 to June 7, 2008. It generally aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency of the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club Wastewater Treatment system, as well as determine the suitability of the effluent for turf grass irrigation and aquaculture. To achieve these objectives, wastewater characterization for both influent and effluent were done based on selected water quality parameters. Values obtained were then used to determine the removal efficiency of the wastewater treatment system. The effluent water quality requirements of tilapia and irrigation water quality criteria for turf irrigation. The pH range from 6.71 to 6.96, EC from 249.33 to 352.33 μmhos/cm, temperature from 27.94 to 29.99 °C, DO levels from 2.4 to 6.28 mg/l, ammonia concentrations from 0.97 to 2.54 mg/l, nitrite-nitrogen from 0.262 to 0.366 mg/l and nitrate-nitrogen levels from 1.1 to 2.7 mg/l and a BOD₅ of 75 mg/l for influent. While pH ranges from 6.91 to 7.19, EC from 262.67 to 272 μmhos/cm, temperature from 27.83 to 28.58 °C, DO levels from 8.25 to 12.41 mg/l, ammonia concentrations from 0.02-0.21 mg/l, nitrite-nitrogen from 0.01-0.075 mg/l and nitrate -nitrogen levels from 2.4 to 3.4 mg/l and a BOD₅ of 25 mg/l for effluent. For removal efficiency, the ammonia was reduced by 94.95%, nitrite by 90.29%, TSS by 77.5%, COD by 70.54%, oil and grease by 83.33% and BOD₅ by 66.67%. Based om the results, it is concluded that the produced effluent is safe for tilapia and turfgrasses in terms only on the parameters used in the study. The Wack Wack Wastewater treatment system is efficient and effective in reducing most of the organic compounds in water and some inorganic compounds such as nitrite and ammonia. However, other water quality parameters such as heavy metals need to be evaluated for a better assessment of suitability. Aside from his, the system also needs to be improved.
