Wastewater treatment and reuse through natural treatment systems

Zhu, Kun and Zhang, Linus LU orcid (1998) The Fourth International Symposium and Exhibition on Environmental Contamination in Central and Eastern Europe
Abstract
Two successful samples of land treatment systems are introduced in the paper. A rapid infiltration system of the area 11.3 hectares with treatment capacity of 10,000 m3/day was constructed in Pingdu city of Shandong province. The removal of COD reached 87.5% while 89.4 for suspended solids and 64.4 % for NH3-N. In fact, the treated water already achieved the criteria of the secondary treatment even higher. Another example of over-flow system was implemented in Baiyin city, Gansu province. The pilot-scale study indicated that oil removal rate affected by land slop and hydraulic load could reach 78.3%. The construction costs of the land treatment system were only equal to a quarter of that for conventional wastewater treatment plants... (More)

The construction costs of the land treatment system were only equal to a quarter of that for conventional wastewater treatment plants with same treatment capacity. Moreover, the operation costs could reduce by 70%. A mathematical model for treatment purification and infiltration in unsaturated zone was derived when the infiltration factors for purification mechanisms were discussed. (Less)
