The microsieving discfilter technology was investigated at the pilot scale. The pilot was configured to treat the effluent from a municipal wastewater multi-lagoon facility consisting of two facultative lagoons and a third seasonally aerated lagoon that is aerated to mitigate hydrogen sulfide release. The 10 mu m filter, operated without chemical enhancement, demonstrates 60.1 +/- 22.6% removal of the lagoon effluent total suspended solids (TSS) during periods of operation without aeration of the third lagoon. Aeration of the third lagoon of the multi-lagoon system prior to discharge renders the 10 mu m filter cloth ineffective with respect to solids removal. The 5 mu m filter cloth performs effective nonchemically enhanced removal of solids even during aeration of the lagoon, removing 68.2 +/- 9.85% of effluent TSS. The greater performance of the 5 mu m filter was achieved at the expense of a lower maximum conveyance capacity than the 10 mu m filter. The 10 and 5 mu m filters decrease the effluent total phosphorus (TP) concentrations by 0.14 and 0.13 mg-P/L, respectively. Algae, characterized as Chlorophyll alpha, shows removal from influent concentrations of 10.25 +/- 4.19 mu g/L to concentrations of 4.61 +/- 1.28 mu g/L for the 10 mu m filter, and 4.10 +/- 0.65 mu g/L for the 5 mu m filter.
