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)
Propose solution

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.
