| Abstract | This study compares the treatment performance of aerated and nonaerated horizontal flow constructed wetlands. Results are presented in a series of performance charts that relate effluent concentrations to influent mass loadings. A statistical approach has been developed that allows the application of confidence intervals to system performance. Performance data is presented for predicted median (50th-percentile) and 90th-percentile effluent concentrations. Aeration was found to improve removal of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and to a lesser extent, total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN). Benefits of aeration include lower median effluent concentrations at a given influent mass loading, less variability in effluent quality, and lower background concentrations (C*). In contrast, aeration was observed to have no impact on total phosphorus (TP) or fecal coliform bacteria removal. |
