This paper describes a pilot installation of green wall treating greywater from an office building in Pune, Maharashtra State (NaWaTech project). The is located at the main entrance state agency responsible for water supply and sanitation. experimental analysis two phases. First phase analysed results walls filled only with LECA® (lightweight expanded clay aggregate). Since first were not satisfactory, second was developed. In phase, LECA plus sand coconut fibres tested as porous media order...
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) constitute nowadays a major environmental concern, representing one of the main untreated sources pollution for receiving water bodies. Additional, in recent years, frequency and intensity CSOs have increased due to growing urbanisation climate change. Although there is no single effective strategy, most promising approaches control treatment can be found nature-based solutions (NBS), such as constructed wetlands (CWs). Despite demonstrated potential CWs treat...
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) release a significant amount of pollutants, including microplastics (MPs), due to the discharge untreated water into receiving bodies. Constructed Wetlands (CWs) offer promising strategy for CSO treatment and have recently attracted attention as potential solution MP mitigation. Nevertheless, limited research on dynamics within events removal performance in full-scale CW systems poses barrier this frontier application. This aims address both these knowledge...
Urban areas face challenges with water scarcity, and the use of non-conventional resources for uses not requiring potable quality is being promoted more by governments international agencies. However, resources, such as rainwater greywater, need to be treated before avoid health risks possible nuisance (smell, bacteria algae proliferation in storage tanks, etc.). This study aimed at demonstrating feasibility a system reusing greywater toilet flushing, relying on nature-based treatment...
This paper describes a two-year performance evaluation of four different constructed wetland (CW) treatment systems designed by IRIDRA Srl, located in central Italy. All CW were established to treat wastewater effluent from tourist activities: (1) one single-stage for secondary domestic (30 p.e.) at holiday farm site; (2) hybrid compact system consisting two stages, horizontal flow (HF) followed vertical (VF) the 140 p.e. resort; (3) 100 mountain shelter; and (4) pair single-stage, HF CWs...
Nature-based solutions, such as Constructed Wetlands (CWs), for the treatment of industrial wastewater can be more efficiently operated making use online monitored parameters inlet/outlet flows and concentrations specific substances. The present study compares different datasets acquired in a two-and-a-half-year-long period by normal laboratory methods also from COD/BOD sensor installed at winery CWs plant Tuscany, Italy. CW (WWTP) is composed of: equalization tank (70 m3); French Reed Bed...
Swine wastewater management is often affected by two main issues: a too high volume for optimal reuse as fertilizer and strength an economically sustainable treatment classical solutions. Hence, innovative scheme has been tested to treat swine wastewater, combining low cost anaerobic reactor, upflow sludge blanket (UASB), with intensified constructed wetlands (aerated CWs) in pilot scale experimental study. The described this paper produced production facility situated North Italy. of the...
A two-stage vertical flow treatment wetlands system (French reed beds) was realized in 2012–2013 for the Orhei's town Moldova. The occupies a total area of about 5 ha and operates cold climate conditions during winter, with air temperatures below −20 °C. first 2 years (2013–2015) performances this are presented here, particular highlight on analysis commissioning phase operative choices taken along period basing observed results. specific classification application constructed (CWs) primary...
French Reed Bed (FRB) is a particular constructed wetland (CW) solution which receives raw wastewater. Data from the full-scale FRB wastewater treatment plant of Castelluccio di Norcia (center Italy) were collected to show capability minimize operational and management (O&M) costs. The system was designed treat variable 200 person equivalent (PE) in off-season up 1000 PE. 2014 2016 showed high removal efficiency line with experiences FRBs. An interview conducted Water Utility estimate...
Introduction: the innovative technology of constructed wetlands (CW) allows removing a wide range pollutants from waste water, while minimizing use mechanical equipment and chemical reagents as well systems process monitoring. As result, it permits to save energy human resources without declining efficiency process. The purpose study is analyse evaluate functionality existing CW technologies determine conditions their application. Materials methods: in case study, data obtained by Ambiente...
This work examined the start-up of a full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) - vertical flow constructed wetland (CW) for domestic wastewater treatment. The UASB reactors were inoculated with originating from an industrial reactor and period due to slow growth rate low temperatures (<18oC) during this period, expanded phase 3 months. After two different operational configurations studied on wetlands application, or not, internal recirculation between saturated unsaturated CW...
