Phosphorus removal in small constructed wetlands dominated by submersed aquatic vegetation in South Florida, USA

Aims: Free-surface flow-constructed wetland is a powerful means forthe reduction of contaminants from agricultural runoff. Wetlandsdominated by submerged aquatic vegetations (SAVs) may take upnutrients, particularly phosphorus (P), from surface flow withhigh efficiency. The objective of this study was to assess Premoval performance by the SAV community under high and lowP concentrations. Methods: Weekly or biweekly inflow and outflow water samples were collectedfrom four small constructed wetlands (test cells) planted withSAV in South Florida, USA, between September 1999 and September2001. These test cells were divided into two groups, with thenorth test cells receiving a higher inflow total phosphorus(TP) concentration (average = 75 µg l^–1) than thesouth test cells receiving a lower TP concentration (average= 23 µg l^–1). Limerock (LR) berms were installedin two of these test cells to allow an evaluation of the efficiencyof this physical barrier to enhance wetland performance. Important findings: North test cells displayed high TP removal of 60% while theremoval efficiency of the south test cells was only 20%. Solublereactive phosphorus concentrations in both north and south testcells were sequestered down to near-detection limit. High removalefficiencies for particulate phosphorus were also observed inthe north test cells. The LR berms at the two test cells werefound to be associated with decreases of an average TP removalof 2 µg l^–1. Outflow TP concentration did not increasewith inflow TP concentration, but increased with nominal hydraulicloading rates. Findings from this study demonstrated high Premoval from inflow water containing high TP concentration bythe SAV wetland and the importance of hydraulic regime to wetlandperformance.     

Retention of nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon in a large semi-arid riverine lake system

Lakes and reservoirs (impoundments) are often viewed as a sink for nutrients within the river continuum. To date, most studies on nutrient retention within impoundments are derived from the temperate climate zones of Europe and North America, only consider one nutrient, and are often short-term (1–2 years). Here, we present a long-term (17 year) data set and nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus and silica) budget for two connected semi-arid lakes (the Lower Lakes) at the terminus of the River Murray, Australia. Most of the filterable reactive phosphorus and nitrate entering the lakes were retained (77 and 92%, respectively). Total phosphorus (TP) was also strongly retained (55% of the annual TP load on average) and the annual TP retention rates could be predicted as a function of the areal hydraulic loading rate (annual lake outflow/lake surface area). On average, there was a slight net retention (7%) of the annual total nitrogen (TN) load but a slight net export (6% of the load) of organic N. TN retention as function of the areal hydraulic loading rate was lower than expected from existing models, possibly because of high nitrogen fixation rates in the Lower Lakes. Silica was retained (39%) at similar rates to those observed in previous studies. There was also a marked increase in the TN:TP and TN:Si ratios within the lake (TN:TP~30 and TN:Si~0.67) compared to those entering (TN:TP~15, TN:Si~0.45), as a consequence of the relatively low net retention of nitrogen.     

Potential of constructed wetlands in treating the eutrophic water: evidence from Taihu Lake of China

Three parallel units of pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs), i.e., vertical subsurface flow (VSF), horizontal subsurface flow (HSF) and free water surface flow (FWS) wetland were experimented to assess their capabilities in purifying eutrophic water of Taihu Lake, China. Lake water was continuously pumped into the CWs at a hydraulic loading rate of 0.64 m d(-1) for each treatment. One year's performance displayed that average removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH(4)(+)-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO(3)(-)-N), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorous (TP) were 17-40%, 23-46%, 34-65%, 20-52% and 35-66%, respectively. The VSF and HSF showed statistically similar high potential for nutrients removal except NH(4)(+)-N, with the former being 14% higher than that of the latter. However, the FWS wetland showed the least effect compared to the VSF and HSF at the high hydraulic loading rate. Mean effluent TP concentrations in VSF (0.056 mg L(-1)) and HSF (0.052 mg L(-1)) nearly reached Grade III (0.05 mg L(-1) for lakes and reserviors) water quality standard of China. Wetland plants (Typha angustifolia) grew well in the three CWs. We noted that plant uptake and storage were both important factors responsible for nitrogen and phosphorous removal in the three CWs. However, harvesting of the above ground biomass contributed 20% N and 57% P of the total N and P removed in FWS wetland, whereas it accounted for only 5% and 7% N, and 14% and 17% P of the total N and P removed in VSF and HSF CWs, respectively. Our findings suggest that the constructed wetlands could well treat the eutrophic lake waters in Taihu. If land limiting is considered, VSF and HSF are more appropriate than FWS under higher hydraulic loading rate.     

Characteristics and mechanisms of the hydroponic bio-filter method for purification of eutrophic surface water

The hydroponic bio-filter method (HBFM) was adopted to purify eutrophic surface water. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) was 16.8% and 30.8%, respectively, at the hydraulic loading rate (HLR) of 3.0 m³ (m² d)⁻¹. The mass removal rate of TN and TP accordingly reached 1.0 and 0.1 g (m² d)⁻¹ separately. The sedimentation of particulate nitrogen and phosphorus played a major role in removal of nitrogen and phosphorus, which contribute 62.2% and 75.9%, respectively. The optimal HLR of HBFM ranged from 3.0 to 4.0 m³ (m² d)⁻¹. The sediment in midstream reached a maximum nitrification potential of 4.76 × 10⁻⁶ g (g h)⁻¹, while upstream it reached a maximum denitrification potential of 8.1 × 10⁻⁷ g (g h)⁻¹. The distribution of nitrification potential corresponded to the ammonium-oxidizing bacteria density. The key for improving nitrogen removal efficacy of HBFM system consisted of changing the nitrification/denitrification region distribution and accordingly enhancing the denitrification process. The sum of dissolved nitrogen removed by denitrification and plant assimilation was nearly equal to the amount released by sediment. Secateur length of Nasturtium officinale had some effect on its uptake rate. The length of cut should be less than 10 cm at a time. The harvesting frequency of once a month for N. officinale had no influence on nitrogen and phosphorus removal.     

Phosphorus removal from agricultural runoff by constructed wetland

A free-water surface wetland covering an area of 2800 m² was operated from March 2002 to June 2004 for agricultural runoff treatment in the Dianchi Valley in China. In the wetland were grown Zizania Caduciflora Turez Hand-mazt and Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin.ex Steud. The instantaneous inflow rate was measured and the integrated flux was recorded by an ultrasonic flow instrument all year round. The average inflow rate, hydraulic loading rate (HLR) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were kept at 242 m³ d^?1, 12.7 cm d^?1 and 2.0 d, respectively. The annual average total phosphorus (TP) in the inflow was 0.87 mg L^?1, and the corresponding removal efficiency was calculated to be 59.0%. Biannual plant uptake and removal by harvesting and seed transport was the main pathway for TP removal, while the influent TP load was 12.9 g m^?2 year^?1. Hydraulic retention time had a significant positive correlation with the removal of P (r² = 0.88). Water temperature, inflow phosphorus load, inflow and hydraulic load rates were positively correlated with the removal of P. Inflow phosphorus concentrations were negatively correlated with the removal of P. It is shown that the free-water surface wetland was an effective and economical system for agricultural runoff treatment in lake regions.     

The impact of influent nutrient ratios and biochemical reactions on oxygen transfer in an EBPR process--a theoretical explanation

In this investigation, a laboratory-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process was operated under controlled conditions to study the impact of varying the influent ratio of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP), and the consequential biochemical reactions on oxygen transfer parameters. The data showed that the experiment with high influent phosphorus relative to nitrogen (COD/TP = 51 and TKN/TP = 3.1) achieved higher alpha and oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE(f)). On the other hand, the experiment with high influent nitrogen relative to phosphorus (TKN/TP = 14.7 and COD/TP = 129) resulted in approximately 50% reduction in alpha and OTE(f) under similar organic loading. This suggested that the intracellular carbon storage and the enhanced biological P removal phenomenon associated with the phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) had a positive influence on OTE(f) in the high phosphorus experiment compared to an active population of nitrifying and denitrifying organisms in the high nitrogen experiment. The intracellular carbon storage by the glycogen-accumulating organisms also appeared to have had a positive effect on oxygen transfer efficiency, although to a lesser extent in comparison to the PAOs. It was also found that oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was not a good indicator of the measured alpha and OTE(f), because it was a combined effect of several biochemical reactions, each having a varying degree of influence. It is difficult to underestimate the crucial role of flocs in mass transfer of oxygen, because microorganisms associated with flocs carry out the biochemical reactions. It seems that the combination of influent characteristics and biochemical reactions in each experiment produced a unique biomass quality (determined by the biomass N to P ratio), ultimately affecting the mass transfer of oxygen. A theoretical explanation for the observed oxygen transfer efficiency under the process conditions is also proposed in this article.     

Simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal from nutrient-rich industrial wastewater using granular sludge

The biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from nutrient-rich abattoir wastewater using granular sludge has been investigated. A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor, seeded with granular sludge developed using synthetic wastewater, was operated for 13 months under alternating anaerobic and aerobic conditions. It is demonstrated that the granules could be sustained and indeed further developed with the use of abattoir wastewater. The organic, nitrogen, and phosphorus loading rates applied were 2.7 gCOD L(-1) day(-1), 0.43 gN L(-1) day(-1), and 0.06 gP L(-1) day(-1), respectively. The removal efficiency of soluble COD, soluble nitrogen and soluble phosphorus were 85%, 93%, and 89%, respectively. However, the high suspended solids in the effluent limited the overall removal efficiency to 68%, 86%, and 74% for total COD, TN, and TP, respectively. This good nutrient removal was achieved through the process known as simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal, likely facilitated by the presence of large anoxic zones in the center of the granules. The removal of nitrogen was likely via nitrite optimizing the use of the limited COD available in the wastewater. Accumulibacter spp. were found to be responsible for most of the denitrification, further reducing the COD requirement for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Mineral precipitation was evaluated and was not found to significantly contribute to the overall nutrient removal. It is also shown that the minimum HRT in a granular sludge system is not governed by the sludge settleability, as is the case with floccular sludge systems, but likely by the limitations associated with the transfer of substrates in granules.     

Organic and nitrogen removal in a two-stage rotating biological contactor treating municipal wastewater

A laboratory scale rotating biological contactor (RBC) predenitrification system incorporating anoxic and aerobic units was evaluated for the treatment of settled high-strength municipal wastewater. The system was operated under four recycle ratios (1, 2, 3 and 4) and loading rates of 38-182 gCOD/m(2)d and 0.22-14 gOxid-N/m(2)d on the anoxic unit and 3.4-18 gCOD/m(2)d and 0.24-1.8 gNH(4)-N/m(2)d on the aerobic. The average removal efficiency in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD(5)), total suspended solids (TSS) and total nitrogen (Total-N) was 82%, 86%, 63% and 54%; settling of the RBC effluent increased COD and TSS removal to 94% and 97%. An increase in hydraulic loading resulting from higher recirculation, had limited negative effect on organic removal but improved nitrogen removal, and in terms of Total-N removal efficiency increased up to a ratio of 3 and then decreased.
