The main contents of campus sewage are BOD and inorganic nutrients. Conventional secondary treatment processes can remove BOD efficiently, whereas the inorganic nutrients remain mostly left. Therefore, the effluents may cause eutrophication to the receiving water bodies. Using constructed wetland treatment system to reduce nutrients become more and more popular recently. Vertical flow type subsurface process is particularly efficient in nitrogen transformations. In this research we studied the nitrogen transformation dynamics by using different types vertical flow constructed wetland system with various natural materials as the media to treat the secondary effluents from a campus sewage treatment plant. Six self designed experiment columns with broken concrete blocks, oyster shells, different sizes of marble granules, and river sands were used for this study as vertical flow constructed wetland systems. The methods of operation included batch type, continuous flow with filled water and trickling filter type, which were tested by controlling the influent flows into those six test columns. The efficiencies of various combinations in treatments and their mechanisms were discussed in the study. The experimental results showed that the best ammonium nitrogen removal efficiency was measured equal to 46.6% in batch type operations, while the continuous flow with filled water type operation showed the best performance by using concrete blocks as the media (42.8%). However, the best ammonium nitrogen removal rate in the trickling operation was found in the column with media of 3 mm marble granules (91.1%). The medium of river sand obtained the best phosphorous removal rate by using a batch flow operation. Vegetating presented only minor contributions in the column with medium of smaller grain size materials. The optimum C/N ratios for denitification tests are 3.5 and 3 by using the media of concrete and oyster, respectively.
