Assessment of Clogging in Constructed Wetlands
The main goal of this thesis is the assessment of the clogging degree in the horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland of Martinlongo and Barrada WWTP, included in Algarve Multi-Municipal Sanitation System Despite of constructed wetland treatment processes being natural and constructed wetlands easy to operate, clogging phenomena can be quite complex and challenging in a way that it is nec...
متن کاملAnalysis of clogging in constructed wetlands using magnetic resonance.
In this work we demonstrate the potential of permanent magnet based magnetic resonance sensors to monitor and assess the extent of pore clogging in water filtration systems. The performance of the sensor was tested on artificially clogged gravel substrates and on gravel bed samples from constructed wetlands used to treat wastewater. Data indicate that the spin lattice relaxation time is linearl...
متن کاملMicrobial fuel cells implemented in constructed wetlands: Fundamentals, current research and future perspectives
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that generates electricity from the microbial degradation of organic and inorganic substrates. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are natural wastewater treatment systems that constitute a suitable technology for the sanitation of small communities. The synergy between MFCs and CWs is possible because of the presence of organic matter in CWs due to wastewater cha...
متن کاملConstructed Wetland Treatment Plant Constructed Wetland Microbial Fuel Cells
18 This work aimed at determining the amount of energy that can be harvested by 19 implementing microbial fuel cells (MFC) in horizontal subsurface constructed wetlands 20 (HSSF CWs) during the treatment of real domestic wastewater. To this aim, MFC were 21 implemented in a pilot plant based on two HSSF CW, one fed with primary settled 22 wastewater (Settler line) and the other fed with the eff...
متن کاملElectrochemical characterization of Geobacter lovleyi identifies limitations of microbial fuel cell performance in constructed wetlands.
Power generation in microbial fuel cells implemented in constructed wetlands (CW-MFCs) is low despite the enrichment of anode electricigens most closely related to Geobacter lovleyi. Using the model representative G. lovleyi strain SZ, we show that acetate, but not formate or lactate, can be oxidized efficiently but growth is limited by the high sensitivity of the bacterium to oxygen. Acetate a...
