class qsdsan.sanunits._lagoon.Lagoon(ID='', ins: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = None, outs: Sequence[AbstractStream] | None = (), thermo=None, init_with='WasteStream', design_type='anaerobic', flow_rate=None, degraded_components=('OtherSS',), if_N2O_emission=False, **kwargs)

Anaerobic and facultative lagoon treatment based on Trimmer et al.

To enable life cycle assessment, the following impact items should be pre-constructed: Plastic, Excavation.

Parameters:

  • ins (WasteStream) – Waste for treatment.

  • outs (WasteStream) – Treated waste, fugitive CH4, and fugitive N2O.

  • design_type (str) – Can be “anaerobic” or “facultative”.

  • flow_rate (float) – Total flow rate through the lagoon (to calculate retention time), [m3/d]. If not provided, will use F_vol_in.
