Nature-based solutions (NBS) to treat wastewater are ecological treatments that work mitigate the impact of conventional systems in treatment processes. In this study, efficiency an innovative tertiary based on Daphnia filtration removing suspended solids and E. coli is evaluated combination with either vermifiltration or secondary treatments. NBS was found increase particle removal inactivatio...

The performance of an innovative, decentralized, nature-based wastewater treatment system composed modular units (vermifilters and zooplankton-based reactors) on a pilot scale level (10 p.e.) is presented here. efficiency this was evaluated over 10-months period under controlled conditions at different flow-rates (750, 1,500 3,000 L·d-1). Vermifiltration alone delivered average removals 88 ± 7%...

The objective of this study was to treat feedlot runoff by developing an ecologically sustainable, affordable, and resilient treatment system having a relatively long life span. Three horizontal flow soil biofilters were utilized in study: 1) without earthworms plants (Biofilter (BF)), 2) with only (Vermifilter (VF)), 3) (Macrophyte Assisted Vermifilter (MAVF)). experiments conducted hydraulic ...
