“…Urban areas tend to have higher water usage than rural areas and according to Thailand's regulation, wastewater treatment unit should be installed into each residential house which costs 15,000 baht/unit (4 persons per house). The constructed wetland could be counted as low-cost and ecofriendly wastewater treatment process and also provides a beautiful landscape [7]. In this research, the constructed wetlands were applied for domestic wastewater treatment with Canna indica L. as the high pollutants removal efficiency vegetation [8].…”

“…According to the USEPA (1992), natural treatment systems, alternative wastewater collecting systems and mechanical treatment systems such as stabilization ponds, wastewater storage and treatment reservoir, up‐low anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, bio filters, aerated lagoons, oxidation ditch, and constructed wetlands can be used as the alternative methods for wastewater treatment in small communities . Constructed wetlands systems (CWs) are engineered wastewater treatment systems that include biological, chemical, and physical processes .…”

“…The most important disadvantages of CWs encountered during the construction and operation are the clogging problems in the treatment bed and the large area requirement . Certain parameters such as type of wetland, wetland design, type of vegetation and substrate, influent pollutant concentrations, hydraulic loading characteristics, interactions of microbial communities, type of the filter material in treatment bed, climate and hydraulic retention time affect the performance of CWs .…”

In the present study, a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands divided three equal parts was designed and constructed at a full scale to treat wastewater of Yörükçal village located in Black Sea region. Three macrophytes namely Juncus acutus, Cortaderia selloana, and Phragmites australis were used in each wetland system. The total surface area of all wetlands is 520 m2. The average removal efficiencies of J. acutus, C. selloana, and P. australis were obtained as 57, 56, and 54% for BOD; 51, 33, and 27% for TN; 55, 58, and 46% for OM; 45, 39, and 32% for orthophosphate; 22, 38, and 24% for NH4+‐N; 13, 20, and 24% for TSS; 33, 44 and 39% for SO42–, respectively. One‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) between groups was applied to determine any difference in the removal of all parameters between the plant types and months depending on the mean values of pollutant removal. Due to the problems such as costs of construction, maintenance and repair, and reduced flow rate encountered especially during the collection of wastewater in rural regions and transport to wastewater treatment plants in the city, the in‐situ treatment applications may be unavoidable. According to the results, Constructed Wetlands (CW) designed correctly are economically and environmentally to treat wastewater of rural settlements. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1348–1360, 2018

“…In addition, there are only limited studies on inert packing materials and trickling operations. In our previous study, an attached growth bioreactor packed with coal slag was successfully utilized for domestic wastewater treatment both in lab-and pilot-scale experiments, indicating that coal slag is a viable supporting material for biofilm attachment and long-term operation [16][17][18]. The relatively high adsorption capacity of coal slag is also an advantage in the biotrickling filter.…”

In the first stage, the feasibility of using the waste materials from coal power plants (i.e., coal slag) and landscapes (i.e., wood chip and compost) as packing media in various biofiltration systems for ammonia (NH 3) removal was investigated. In the second stage, the optimized biotrickling system packed with coal slag was employed to investigate the effects of inlet concentration on NH 3 treatment performance. A complete NH 3 removal was achieved at concentrations of up to 250 ppm at an empty bed retention time of as low as 8 s, which is shorter than most previously reported biofiltration systems. Results of metabolic product analysis indicated that half of introduced NH 3 was oxidized to nitrate and the rest was converted to ammonium ion at low loadings, while nitrite and ammonium ions predominate at high loadings. A bacterial community shift was observed with regard to the loading rates and pH conditions. In addition, there were no common operating problems, such as clogging and compaction, in the operation for more than 1 year.
