Conventional Wastewater Treatment

Among the most common non-conventional wastewater treatment techniques used in the Czech Republic are waste stabilisation ponds (WSP), subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetlands (CW) and vertical flow groundfilters (GF). These extensive systems can be advantageously used for treatment of waters coming from sewerages where the ballast weighting commonly makes more than half of dry-weather flow. The monitoring was focused at 14 different extensive systems. Organics removal efficiencies were favourable (CW–82%; GF–88%); in the case of WSP only 57% due to the algal bloom. Total nitrogen removal efficiencies were 43 and 47% for WSP and GF; in the case of CW only 32% due to often occurring anaerobic conditions in filter beds. Total phosphorus removal efficiencies were 37, 35 and 22% for WSP, GF and CW, respectively. Often occurring problems are the ice-blockage of surface aerators at WSP during wintertimes, the pond duckweed-cover or the algal bloom at WSP during summers; a gradual colmatage of filter systems; and the oxygen deficiency in beds of subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetlands. Czech legal regulations do not allow treated wastewater disposal into underground waters. There is only an exception for individual family houses. Up to now, knowledge gained by monitoring of a village (which uses the infiltration upon a permission issued according to earlier legal regulations) have not shown an unacceptable groundwater quality deterioration into the infiltration areas.

Abstract：The constructed wetland is a new kind of wastewater treatment developing in recent years, which is very suitable for the regional characteristics of Shaanxi province. The design of the constructed wetlands is developed from the traditional sub-surface horizontal-flow wetlands (SSHFW). Two groups of wetlands were designed in parallel, and each single wetland can also became the vertical-flow wetland system. Aerating in front of the constructed wetlands is to study the removal efficiency of the organics. Test indicators contain SS、COD、Nitrogen、Phosphor and the rate of nitrification and de-nitrification. According to the experiments of the self-designed SSHFW, the removal efficiency of the SS, COD, NH4+-N、TN and TP were 92%, 82%, 40%, 46.2% and 70% respectively. The strength of nitrification and de-nitrification of the packing reached to 0.35mg/(kg.h) and 3.32mg/(kg.h). On the basis of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation, the adsorption quantity of coarse sand and gravel were 405.2mg/kg and 498.6mg/kg. The quality of the effluent met the primary standard of B-standard in the discharge standards of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant (GB18918-2002).

Inflowing Water

During the period 1996-1997, three constructed wetlands with sub-surface horizontal flow were investigated. All systems are designed to treat municipal sewage from small villages (150, 200 and 300 PE). The survey included microscopical identification of organisms in both wastewater and filtration substrate. The organisms were used as an indication of oxygen conditions (aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic) in the particular microenvironment. Saprobiological terms characterizing different levels of saprobity were employed to characterize inflowing wastewater, filtration bed and outflowing water. The occurrence of organisms was correlated with BOD5 values in particular profiles. It has been found that the biocenosis in the inflowing wastewater differs from those found in the filtration bed and water outflowing from the vegetated beds. The organisms were grouped into those living under anaerobic and anoxic conditions and those living under aerobic conditions. More than 70 species of bacteria, amoebae, ciliates, rotifers, colorless flagellates, cyanobacteria and algae were found and the most important 45 species were figured in a plate together with saprobiological information for each species. Biota of the inflowing water is usually restricted to bacteria, ciliata and colorless flagellata while the organisms found in outflowing water as well as in periphyton growing on outflow structures indicate 2-3 levels better quality.

Winery Wastewater

The winery wastewater starts to become a threaten to environment and ecosystem. Because constructed wetland has advantages of low cost, low maintaining fee and energy saving, there are more researchers use this technology to purify the winery wastewater. In this article, the horizontal flow constructed wetland will be mainly focused. By using this method, the N, P, organic matter, and other pollutants will be efficiently removed and reused in other phase, such like agricultural activities. The constructed wetland can also supply itself. By transfer the nutrition matter from wastewater and support its’ own plants’ energy.
