Removal efficiency of subsurface vertical flow constructed wetlands for different organic loads

Abstract: Using subsurface vertical flow constructed wetlands (SSVFCWs) with intermittent loading it is possible to fulfil the stringent Austrian effluent standards regarding nitrification. For small plants (less than 500 persons) standards for ammonia nitrogen concentration have to be met at water temperatures higher than 12 degrees C, effluent concentrations and treatment efficiencies for organic matter have to be met the whole year around. According to the Austrian design standards the required surface area for SSVFC… Show more

“…only in summer), the specific surface area requirements are lower. Experience from Austria shows that the same treatment efficiency can be reached with VF wetlands designed with 2 m²/PE if operated only in summer, meaning effluent water temperatures ≥ 10°C (Langergraber et al, 2007). Experiences on the use of VF wetlands in warmer climates exist for several regions.…”

“…This could be an indication that the influence of biomass growth on the hydraulic properties has to be considered in the model [18]. Additionally, outdoor experiments have been carried out at experimental wetlands located at the wastewater treatment plant Ernsthofen, Lower Austria [38]. Three VF wetlands with a surface area of about 20 m 2 each have been operated in parallel.…”

“…The lowest loaded facility was Schodno, whereas Wieszyno had almost ten times higher pollutants loadings. However, in all analysed HTWs maximum allowable loadings given in the literature (for COD = 40 g/(m 2 ·day) and TN = 20 g/(m 2 ·day), were not exceeded (Langergraber et al 2006;Sardon et al 2006). In TWs in Spain HSSF beds load changed from 0.8 to 23.0 g BOD 5 /(m 2 ·day), and for VSSF beds from 12.8 to 29.8 g BOD 5 /(m 2 ·day).…”
