Abstract |
Studies of artificial wetlands at Santee, California demonstrated the capacity of wetlands systems for integrated secondary and advanced treatment of municipal wastewaters. When receiving a blend of primary and secondary wastewaters at a blend ratio of 1:2 (6 cm per day: 12 cm per day), mean removal efficiencies for a complete year of operation were 80% for total nitrogen and 80% for total inorganic nitrogen, with the mean in flow total nitrogen level of 21.5 mg/l in the wetland effluent. The BOD and SS removal efficiencies were 93% and 83% respectively. (Copyright (c) 1984 IAWPRC.) |
