Recirculating Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands
نویسنده
چکیده
In parts of the United States where soils are very permeable, conventional septic tank and absorption field systems are considered the largest contributor to waterborne disease and pollution of water bodies. However, an economical, recirculating vertical flow (RVF) constructed wetland, used as a pretreatment system, can significantly improve the performance of conventional onsite wastewater treatment systems while requiring relatively little space.

Performance Review of Hybrid Subsurface Constructed Wetlands in Urban Wastewater Supplementary Treatment
Today, the use of refined urban wastewater for agriculture is growing considerably. One of the methods for the natural treatment of wastewater is the constructed wetland. In this study, the effects of three and six days retention time on the vertical, horizontal and hybrid constructed wetland (first vertical and then horizontal) with perlite beds and Cyperus plants on the urban wastewater were ...
متن کاملRecirculation on a single stage of vertical flow constructed wetland : treatment limits and operation modes
Classical French vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs) plant comprises two stages of treatment which the first one nearly respects standard outlet levels. It is therefore attractive to use recirculation on a single vertical stage to reduce its footprint when outlet levels required are not too severe regards to nitrification. The present study aims at evaluating performances and limits of a...
متن کاملDesign of horizontal and vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands treating industrial wastewater
Constructed wetlands have become a good alternative to urban and industrial wastewater treatments. Because of the many interactions between the different parts that form the wetland, the design of these systems used to be very complex so a good design tool is required. Hybrid constructed wetlands mix the aerobic and anaerobic properties of vertical and horizontal subsurface flow constructed wet...
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 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...
