Wastewater Treatment with Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland

چکیده
Water is one of the most important elements involved in the creation and development of healthy life. Haphazard disposal of untreated wastewater from households as well as institutions and industry is causing severe deterioration of water bodies in many urban areas in the developing world. There are several methods to treat the municipal wastewater for intended use. One of the methods of the treatment is constructed wetland. Constructed wetland system for wastewater treatment has been proven to be effective and sustainable alternative for conventional wastewater treatment technologies. In the present study performance of the fabricated model on which the local Amba Nala effluent characteristics like pH, DO, TS, BOD, COD with and without plant species were studied. The bed was studied for the different substrate conditions i.e. for black cotton soil, sandy soil for the detention time of 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 9 days. It is observed that the beds with Typha Orientalis (macrophyte plants) produced effluents of better quality than the bed without Typha Orientalis. The result shows reduction of 75% in total solids, 86 % in BOD, 63% in COD using Typha Orientalis and on the other side without Typha Orientalis it was found that there is 70% reduction in total soilids, 62% in BOD and 53% in COD. The planted wetland system shows the better performance than the unplanted system. It is also found that the increasing in the detention period of the wastewater, the removal rate also increases. This study can be extended by setting pilot plant at site.

متن کاملStudy the Performance of Hybrid Constructed Wetland with Pumice Substrate and Vetiver Plants in Urban Wastewater Treatment
One of the ways to reduce the amount of wastewater pollution is the use of constructed wetlands. In this research, the performance of a hybrid constructed wetland with pumice ore and vetiver plant on urban wastewater has been investigated. Hybrid wetlands with these specifications were constructed in the vicinity of wastewater treatment at the Isfahan University of Technology. To evaluate the p...
متن کاملA Hybrid Constructed Wetland System for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
Constructed wetland technology has been widely applied around the world to treat domestic wastewaters from the single family home to small communities. Constructed wetlands can be classified as either surface flow wetlands (similar to natural wetlands) or subsurface flow wetlands, where the wastewater flows through a media. Subsurface flow constructed wetlands can either be horizontal flow syst...
متن کاملStudy on treatment of aquaculture wastewater using a hybrid constructed wetland
This paper reported the pollutant removal performances of a hybrid wetland system for the treatment of aquaculture wastewater. The system consisted of two treatment stages: a subsurface vertical flow (VF) wetland, followed by a horizontal flow (HF). The aquaculture wastewater with the different concentrations such as eutrophy and mesotrophy was treated using hybrid constructed wetland. The expe...

The efficiency in nitrogen removal from wastewater generated at CSBP Ltd fertiliser and chemical manufacturer by two hybrid constructed wetland mesocosms was compared. The mesocosms were set up in order to help clarify the reasons why the two year old constructed wetland located at the industrial facility, a 1.2 ha free water surface/vertical flow conjugated system, has performed under the 50% ...
