Book excerpt: This study sought to assess the potential of Salicornia europaea (L) agg. to act as biofilter for nitrogen and phosphorus and to determine its suitability as a halophytic replacement for emergent macrophyte species ego Typhus, Juncus in a constructed wetland (CW) for treatment of wastewater produced by a commercially-operating marine fish and shrimp recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Assessment included, defining an ideal nitrogen concentration for optimum plant growth and nutrient removal; designing and running a pilot scale CW and evaluating its efficiency through quantification of N and P in the influent and effluent and measurement of plant biomass and tissue nitrogen and phosphorus content, with particular attention given to the impact of regular harvests on CW efficiency. Further investigations focussed on the effect of planting on nutrient removal rates, comparing the performance of planted beds to unplanted controls and looking into the effect of planting density on removal rates and yield. Under experimental conditions, at 2 mmol N r', or less, plants had inhibited growth and showed signs of nitrogen deficiency. In contrast, plants grown at 4 and 6 mmol N r' showed signs of an excess of available nitrogen. Treatment nitrogen levels> 2 mmol N r' had little effect on above-ground tissue N content of S. europaea which would indicate that a plants capacity to sequester nitrogen is finite and has to be assessed in relation to its biomass. Application of nitrogen concentrations up to 4 mmol r' would promote production of the most nitrogen rich part of a Salicornia plant, thereby increasing N removal rates and yield of the most commercially valuable part of the plant. When processing fish farm wastewater at ambient concentrations (93 to 439 umol r' TDIN and 34 to 90 umol r' DIP) the pilot-scale constructed wetland planted with S. europaea was highly effective, removing 97 to 100 % TDIN and 41 to 88 % DIP. The addition of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to the fish farm effluent (increasing TDIN loading from 16.9 ± 4.6 mmol m·2 d-I to 139.0 ± 61.2 mmol N m2 d-I) saw CW performance drop to 30 to 58 % TDIN and 19 to 40 % DIP. However, overall assimilation (max. 263 mmol m-2 d-I) of nitrogen by the CW was significantly higher than that reported under ambient N loading. Over the entire 88 day experiment, the CW removed in total 1.28 ± 0.05 mol N m-2 and 0.11 ± 0.01 mol P m-2. Plant uptake accounted for 85% of total N and 73 % of total P removed. The mean nitrogen content in the tissues of the root, shoot and re-growth of S. europaea were all significantly different from each other, 0.61 ± 0.14, 0.80 ± 0.23 and 1.27 ± 0.36 mmol g-I (root, shoot and re-growth respectively), with highest levels measured in the re- growth. A significant 297 DW g m-2 biomass response to addition of inorganic N could be an indication that plant growth was limited by available nitrogen under ambient loading. Croppping was found to reduce CW performance but encouraged production of the succulent tips preferred by the food market whilst removing nitrogen and phosphorus bound in plant tissues from the CW in exchange for an economic return. By comparison, un-cropped had a greater seed yield and uptake potential. When processing fish farm wastewater at ambient TDIN concentrations between 745 to 4087 umol r' the presence of plants within the beds did significantly improve TDIN uptake over the control beds, the removal rates reflected this and the control beds managed 19.9 ± 18.7 mmol m-2 d-I whilst planted beds removed 62.0 ± 25.5 mmol m-2 d-I TDIN over the experimental period. TDIN removal efficiencies ranged between 34 and 73 % for the planted beds and between 0 and 41 % for the unplanted control beds. Planting density had no apparent effect on the rate of TDIN removal. Planted beds produced a yield of 2.6 ±1.1 and 2.2 ± 0.7 FW kg m-2 (high and mid respectively) VI.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial or constructed wetlands are an emerging technology particularly for tropical areas with water scarcity. For big cities, the sustainable management of water resources taking into account proper use is always challenging. The book presents case studies illustrating the above. As plants and microorganisms are a fundamental part of the correct functioning of these systems, their contribution to the degradation of the organic matter and to the removal and transformation of the pollutant compounds present in the wastewaters is also a highlight of this book.

This book was released on 2008-04-22 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment are a widely used technology for treatment of various types of wastewaters. The International Water Association (then International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control) recognized wetlands as useful tools for wastewater treatment and est- lished the series of biennial conferences on the use of wetland systems for water pollution control in 1988. In about 1993, we decided to organize a workshop on nutrient cycling in natural and constructed wetlands with the major idea to bring together researchers working on constructed and also natural wetlands. It was not our intention to compete with IWA conferences, but the workshop should rather complement the series on treatment wetlands by IWA. We believed that the exchange of information obtained from natural and constructed wetlands would be beneficial for all participants. And the time showed that we were correct. The first workshop took place in 1995 at T?ebo? in South Bohemia and most of the papers dealt with constructed wetlands. Over the years we extended the topics on natural wetlands (such as role of wetlands in the landscape or wetland restoration and creation) and during the 6th workshop held at T?ebo? from May 30 to June 3, 2006, nearly half of 38 papers presented during the workshop dealt with natural wetlands. This workshop was attended by 39 participants from 19 countries from Europe, Asia, North and South Americas and Australia. The volume contains 29 peer-reviewed papers out of 38 papers which were presented during the workshop.

Download or read book Constructed Wetlands Treatment of Municipal Wastewaters written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual discusses the capabilities of constructed wetlands, a functional design approach, and the management requirements to achieve the designed purpose. The manual also attempts to put the proper perspective on the appropriate use, design and performance of constructed wetlands. For some applications, they are an excellent option because they are low in cost and in maintenance requirements, offer good performance, and provide a natural appearance, if not more beneficial ecological benefits. In other applications, such as large urban areas with large wastewater flows, they may not be at all appropriate owing to their land requirements. Constructed wetlands are especially well suited for wastewater treatment in small communities where inexpensive land is available and skilled operators hard to find and keep. Primary customers will be engineers who service small communities, state regulators, and planning professionals. Secondary users will be environmental groups and the academics.
