Performance of three type of constructed wetland systems for treating municipal waste water
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
A pilot constructed wetland systems project was constructed during 2015 at the University of Basrah Iraq These systems are a vertical subsurface flow system VSSF a horizontal subsurface flow system HSSF and a surface flow system SF These systems were planted with Phragmites australis Typha domingensis and Certophyllum demersum respectively It had been operated during 2016 as separated systems The results recorded a total mean of 7898 of NH4N removal efficiency with 7868 by VSSF 7604 by HSSF and 8220 by SF This figure reached 9058 removal of PO4 with 9029 by VSSF 9018 by HSSF and 9202 by SF Also high level of total mean removal efficiency of 9596 of BOD5 the results were 9765 for VSSF 9799 for HSSF and 9225 for SF The results indicated that the system was highly effective at removing the target pollutantsKeywords Constructed wetland Vertical subsurface Horizontal subsurface Surface flow
