Use of a duckweed pond for the domestic wastewater polishing in Ilha Solteira, SP, Brazil

Abstract: Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of a duckweed pond in the polishing of a stabilization pond effluent, as well as quantify its biomass production. Once an adequate destination is given to the produced biomass, the wastewater treatment plant can work in a sustainable and integrated way. Design/methodology/approach-The duckweed pond consisted of a tank with volume 0.44 m 3 , operating in continuous flow with an outflow of 0.12 m 3 /day and hydraulic retention time of 3.8 days.

“…In a previous study, Iatrou et al (2015) used L.minor for urine and treated domestic wastewater treatment and reported that protein and starch content of the produced biomass reached 25.3% and 47.1%, respectively, under specific experimental conditions. Garcia et al (2017) used a duckweed pond with Landoltia punctate for polishing a stabilization pond effluent and reported that biomass production rate ranged between 3.6 and 10.3 g per m 2 and day in dry mass. de Matos et al (2014) conducted outdoor experiments using effluents from facultative ponds and reported that the crude protein and the fiber content of the produced biomass was 38.03% and 16.17%, respectively.…”
