Analysis Treatment Efficiencies and Emergy Analysis of Constructed Wetlands¡ÐA Case Study of Kaoping River Old Railroad Bridge Constructed Wetland

Constructed wetlands have been widely accepted as a natural ecotechnology for wastewater treatment. Constructed wetland system is a treatment system, while it utilizes intertine relationship among water, plants, soils, microorganism and atmosphere in natural environment, and applies natural physics, chemistry and biochemical actions to remove pollutions natural. In addition, the constructed wetland can also to increase the areas to attract more wild animals as their habits.
In this study, we analyzed quality of Koping River Old Railroad Bridge constructed wetlands to understand the remove efficiencies for different pollutions. The analytical results showed that A system of the constructed wetlands because some other sewage of A system flowed into the system. However, the treatment system were still better than those in B system. The average removal efficiencies of BOD5 ,COD ,NH3-N ,TP in A system equal to 81.93¢H,50.98¢H,74.89¢H,46,70¢H,respectively. However the average removal efficiencies of SS and Chlorophyll-a were increased for both A and B systems, which might because algae can grow vigorously in summer. Resulting in an increase for both Chlorophyll-a and SS. Besides, in autumn the litter effect of wetland plants might cause the concentrations of nutrients increased.
In addition, in this study we also utilized emergy analysis to evaluate the economical values while comparing with a sewage treatment plant. The analytical results showed that the constructed wetlands could remove more pollutants than of the sewage treatment plant. However, the constructed wetland system could still increase the biodiversity. If they could reach steady treatment efficiencies under proper operation and maintenance. It is concluded that the constructed wetland system can provide advantages in both ecology and economics systems.
