A horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSFCW) was employed to remove tannins from the effluent of a tannins extracting company. Two HSSFCW cells with hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 9 d and packed with limestone were used. One cell without macrophytes was used as a control, while the second cell was planted with Phragmites mauritianus . Results indicated that HSSFCW was capable of treating tannin wastewater that has been seeded with primary facultative pond sludge. Tannins and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of 95.9% and 90.6% with outlet concentration of 27 mg/L and 86 mg/L, respectively, were obtained in the planted cell; while the tannins and COD removal efficiency of 91.1% and 89.5% with outlet concentration of 57 mg/L and 96 mg/L, respectively, were obtained in the control cell.

Air sumur bor pada salah satu rumah di Jl. SMK 1 Gambut, Kecamatan Gambut, Kabupaten Banjar mengandung konsentrasi besi (Fe) dan mangan (Mn) yang melebihi standar baku mutu menurut PerMenKes RI No. 32 Tahun 2017 yaitu konsentrasi Fe tidak lebih dari 1 mg/L dan Mn 0,5 mg/L. Salah satu teknologi untuk menyisihkan konsentrasi Fe dan Mn adalah Lahan Basah Buatan Aliran Vertikal Bawah Permukaan (LBB-AVBP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektifitas LBB-AVBP dalam menyisihkan Fe dan Mn pada air sumur bor menggunakan tanaman Typha latifolia dan Cyperus papyrus serta menentukan waktu kontak optimal yang diperlukan sistem pengolahan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan reactor berbahan kayu yang dilapisi plastik dengan dimensi 90 cm x 30 cm x 40 cm serta menggunakan tanaman Typha latifolia dan Cyperus papyrus, dengan media tanam tanah dicampurkan dengan 10% pupuk kandang sapi. Sistem aliran LBB- AVBP secara kontinyu dengan variasi waktu kontak 1, 3, dan 5 hari, debit pengaliran 20 mL/menit, 6 mL/menit, dan 4 mL/menit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LBB-AVBP efektif dalam menyisihkan konsentrasi Fe dan Mn dengan tingkat efisiensi penyisihan Fe sebesar 99,94% dan penyisihan Mn sebesar 88,36%.

In this study, the performance treatment of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSFCW) was evaluated. The HSFCW built as a tertiary treatment process after the biological reactors to improve the effluent quality. The HSFCW system was operated with different hydraulic loading rates (HLRs) ranged from 0.15 to 0.333 m3/ (m2.d) to assess their influence on removal efficiency. During the system operation time, the average temperature was ranged of 22.3 to 31.2 °C and pH ranges was 7.3 – 8.1. The Ipomoea aquatica (Chinese spinach) planted into HSFCW system and the growth parameters during the experimental operation observed. The Ipomoea aquatica growth parameters such as the plant height, a fresh and dry weights were monitored and measured. The influent and effluent of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were examined. The removal efficiency for all parameters showed decreased with an increase in HLR from 0.15 to 0.333 m3/ (m2.day). The results demonstrated that the average removal efficiency of the COD, NH4-N, TN and TP during system operation is 52.9%, 64.6%, 58.2% and 72.8% respectively. These results confirm that the HSFCW has a good efficient in treatment and can be used for the nutrients and organic matter removal from the domestic wastewater.

Activated sludge is a wastewater treatment reactor widely applied for hospital. The reactor requires a mechanical aerator as a source of oxygen. At the same time, Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland is rarely used. Both types of reactors utilize microbes in reducing pollutants of wastewater. The role of microbes in activated sludge is taken over by microbes that grow in the root zone of Typha latifolia and Vetiver sp. Two laboratory scale reactors were made to get serial data on the performance of the two plants in treating hospital wastewater. The result, the removal efficiency of COD on Q1 = 0.13 l/h and COD on Q2 = 0.43 l/h for Typha latifolia plants were 87.71% and 67.61%. On Vetiver sp. plants were 90,07% and 68,32%. The removal efficiency of BOD5 on Q1 = 0.13 l/h and Q2 = 0.43 l/h for Typha latifolia plants were 90.00% and 71.7%. On Vetiver sp. plants were 91.69% and 73.29%. The efficiency of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen removal (TKN) Q1 = 0.13 l/h and Q2 = 0.43 l/h for Typha latifolia plants were 91.27% and 61.54%, whereas in Vetiver sp. plants were 92.01% and 62.68%. Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland is capable and feasible for hospital wastewater treatment.

The removal of Co, Ni, Cu and Zn from synthetic industrial wastewater was studied in subsurface flow constructed wetland microcosms filled with gravel or a gravel/straw mixture. Half of the microcosms were planted with Phragmites australis and half were left unplanted. All microcosms received low-strength wastewater (1 mg L−1 of Co, Ni, and Zn, 0.5 mg L−1 Cu, 2,000 mg L−1 SO4) during seven 14-day incubation batches. The pore water was regularly monitored at two depths for heavy metals, sulphate, organic carbon and redox potential. Sorption properties of gravel and straw were assessed in a separate experiment. A second series of seven incubation batches with high-strength wastewater (10 mg L−1 of each metal, 2,000 mg L−1 SO4) was then applied to saturate the substrate. Glucose was added to the gravel microcosms together with the high-strength wastewater. Sorption processes were responsible for metal removal during start-up, with the highest removal efficiencies in the gravel microcosms. The lower initial efficiencies in the gravel/straw microcosms were presumably caused by the decomposition of straw. However, after establishment of anaerobic conditions (Eh∼−200 mV), precipitation as metal sulphides provided an additional removal pathway in the gravel/straw microcosms. The addition of glucose to gravel microcosms enhanced sulphate reduction and metal removal, although Phragmites australis negatively affected these processes in the top-layer of all microcosms.

Abstract In rural country like India, low cost and decentralized treatment unit like vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSF CW) can be reflected as a novel wastewater system. In this concern a pilot-scale VSSF CW unit of size 0.92 m × 0.92 m × 0.85 m bed planted with a Typha latifolia and Phragmites australis was operated for a 12-month duration to treat the simulated rural wastewater. During the operation, a constant head arrangement was done to maintain a continuous flow to achieve 5 different Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days in each seasons such as winter, summer and rainy to investigate the performance of unit under different retention time. Reactor showed optimum removal efficiency at 6 days HRT at 12.5 cm/day Hydraulic Loading Rate (HLR) for organic matter removal. Both macrophytes and microbial biomass of filter media were effectively treated the rural wastewater. Average removal efficiency of the reactor during entire study were 64.73%–88.80% for Chemical Oxygen Demand, 74.96%–95.34% for Biochemical Oxygen Demand, 40.13%–79.45% for Ammonia Nitrogen, 25.36%–65.65% for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, 22.86%–58.48% for Phosphate phosphorus, 23.50%–55.45% for Total phosphorous, 74.91%–98.59% for Faecal Coliforms and 71.14%–95.31% for Total Coliforms respectively. Two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's test showed that HRT had a significant impact on removal efficiency but not the season. Overall performance of the unit was good and study suggested that VSSF CW can be an smart alternative technology to treat rural wastewater before the final disposal.

 Reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation purpose can reduce high pressure on freshwater resources. A horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSF CW) system filled with gravel and planted with Phragmites Australia was used to treat the real wastewater at Al-Rustumia wastewater treatment plant. Some characteristics of wastewater such as biochemical oxygen demand, phosphate and total suspended solids have been monitored from 15 January until 8 July 2018. The results proved that HSSF unit has a good efficacy in the reduction of previous parameters with removal of 84.2, 55.4 and 72.7% while sulphate and total dissolved solids were less removal efficiency with 3.3 and  0.99 % respectively. The measured values of these parameters were within the permissible limits suitable for irrigation purposes.
