چکیده

In this study, results about sludge stabilization in reed bed systems (RBSs) after the entire period of operation in two different systems situated in Denmark (Helsinge 42,000 population equivalent (p.e.) - 10 years) and in Italy (La Fontina, 30,000 p.e. - 6 years) were presented. In order to evaluate the process of sludge stabilization, parameters that highlighted the biochemical and chemico-structural properties of organic sludge matter have been determined. The level of total and soluble nutrients, and enzyme activities, parameters related to overall microbial activity, showed that stabilization of the sludge similarly occurred in both RBSs, even though in different landscape ecosystems. The chemical-structural characterization of sludge organic matter highlighted how the processes of stabilization have occurred satisfactorily in both RBSs; in fact, significant levels of pyrolytic indices for mineralization and humification were reached. The successful stabilization of organic matter occurred in both RBSs and was confirmed by the absence of Escherichia coli, and also by the results of organic compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, nonylphenol ethoxylates, di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate) and heavy metals.

Natural Water Systems and Treatment Technologies to Cope with Water Shortages in Urbanised Areas in India Technical Note for Urbanised Areas in India: Sludge Drying Reed Bed

Sludge drying reed bed (SDRB) is a technology adopted to treat sludge from septic tanks, latrines, or anaerobic and aerobic reactors. The sludge is loaded by pumping on vegetated beds, and treated by a combination of physical and biochemical processes. The dewatering of the sludge is due to a combined effect of drainage and evapotranspiration. The organic matter reduction of the sludge is drive...

This paper presents a comparative study on the treatment of high-strength animal wastewater in two parallel lab-scale constructed reed bed systems, namely progressively-sized system and anti-sized system, which have same configuration but different arrangement of bed media. The reed bed systems were operated in a tidal flow pattern to treat diluted pig slurry. Detailed analyses were carried out...

Sludge Treatment in Reed Beds Systems – Development, design, experiences

There are important differences in the environmental perspectives and costs involved in mechanical sludge dewatering followed by disposal on agricultural land compared to reed bed sludge treatment. The effect on the environment of the operation of a Sludge Treatment in Reed Beds system is seen as quite limited compared to traditional sludge treatment systems such as mechanical dewatering and dr...
