Natural Wastewater Treatment Systems Learning Objectives: To explore the key NWT systems To understand the processes involved in such systems To be able to design reed beds and stabilization ponds

Natural Treatment Systems Biological treatment systems that require little or no energy and that have low ghg emissions. Options: Land treatment Macrophyte/emergent plant-based treatment Stabilization ponds

Natural Treatment Systems Land Treatment Surface irrigation Sub-surface irrigation Infiltration-percolation Overland flow Overland flow (170 acres) Sewage farming c1890

Natural Treatment Systems Wetland treatment Natural wetlands, marshes and reed beds no longer used for treatment as it severely damages ecological balance of these delicate systems Essex marshes Norfolk broads

Natural Treatment Systems Wetland treatment Constructed Wetlands: Free water (FWS) or Surface flow (SF) Subsurface flow (SSF) either vertical or horizontal FWS treating farm runoff FWS wetland

Natural Treatment Systems Constructed Wetlands:

Natural Treatment Systems Reed Beds:

Natural Treatment Systems Liners can be puddled clay, butyl rubber or rigid plastic Reeds are planted in graded gravel, sand or soil

Natural Treatment Systems Reed beds can be located almost anywhere providing flexible design options Simple outlet with manhole section used as secondary settlement tank

Natural Treatment Systems Newly planted bed Septic tank and 9 reed bed tanks in series serving school

Natural Treatment Systems Treatment of mine waters Treatment of surface runoff from motorways

Natural Treatment Systems New Forest: Reed bed treatment system within National Park Reed beds now available as package units

Natural Treatment Systems Stabilization Ponds Anaerobic Lagoons Oxidation ponds Facultative pond High-rate aerobic lagoon Maturation ponds River purification lakes Aeration Lagoons

Natural Treatment Systems Anaerobic lagoons

Natural Treatment Systems Covered Anaerobic Lagoons A covered anaerobic lagoon utilises a floating geomembrane cover with integrated gas collection system and can be used as a cost effective alternative to the reactor type digesters for very high strength effluents where space is not an issue.
