Efficiency of Wastewater Treatment Using

a Combination System of Plantbed Filter

and Aerators from Doi Tung Development Project.

Existing system

Wastewater pond

Industrial wastewater sources (20-30 m3/day)

Constructed wetland

Macadamia charcoal filter

Anaerobic pond

Wastewater pretreatment rail

Treated water pond

BOD = 370 mg/L

COD = 620 mg/L

BOD = 265 mg/L

COD = 470 mg/L BOD = 130 mg/L

COD = 290 mg/L

BOD = 13 mg/L

COD = 100 mg/L

27 m x 7m x 1m

Vertical flow constructed wetland

Existing system

• Performance

BOD removal = 97%

COD removal = 84%

Color removal = Acceptable color

• Problem

Clogging began after 6 months – 1 year

(Expected life was 3 years)

Summary

• reduce the amount of air in half without affecting the performance. • The roots of floating plants as a habitat for microorganisms. • Planted bed filter decrease suspended solid • Sand filter system / Sedimentation system can be controlled to lower

BOD and SS effluent standards. • Sedimentation pond require less maintenance than sand filter system

• Sand filter system have to clean sand backwashing way to get rid of the SS stuck in the sand.
