1 Decentralized Water and Wastewater International Network(DEWSIN) Kathmandu Nepal 2009 On-site wastewater treatment in Flanders, opportunities and threats for constructed wetlands Mia Van Dyck, Rob Van Deun Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen, Geel, Belgium

2 Water Policy in Flanders Flanders North Sea The Netherlands Germany 13,522 km² 6.1 million people 451 inh./km² France Luxembourg

3 Water Policy in Flanders

4 Water Policy in Flanders Aquafin(1990) Domestic wastewater collection and treatment Supramunicipal level Shareholder: Flemish Government

5 Water Policy in Flanders 2007: 3.9% collective treatment Zoning plans: individual treatment per family home sewer system connected to a small-scale WWTP sewer system connected to a large-scale WWTP

6 Water Policy in Flanders Effluent standards for individual WWTP s: ph BOD < 25mg/l Suspended Solids < 60mg/l no nutrients in concentrations higher than 10 times the environmental quality standards of the receiving watercourse no fats, oils or floating products

7 Constructed Wetlands Types of constructed wetlands: Surface flow wetlands ( free-water surface wetlands (FWS) Stabilization ponds; Floating Macrophyte Filter Systems Subsurface flow wetlands (SF) Subsurface horizontal flow wetland ( rootzone reedbed) Subsurface vertical flow wetland.

8 Constructed Wetlands Wetland treatment: Organic matter, TSS, N, P, pathogens Removal mechanism: Biological: microbial degradation plant uptake Physico- chemical: adsorption sedimentation precipitation

9 Materials and Methods different systems: VSSF, HSSF, stabilisation pond different media: sand,expanded clay,gravel different plant species: Phragmites australis, Iris speudacorus, Carex riparia, Scirpus lacustris, Eriophorum angustifolium, Sparganium erectum, Miscanthus floridulus

10 Materials and Methods Vertical Subsurface Flow Wetland gravel sand Horizontal Subsurface Flow Wetland

22 Conclusions The removal of organic matter is very reliable through the year; As for nutrient removal nitrogen is nitrified almost completely in most systems; The removal of total N is limited and depends on the substrate and plants used; Phosphorous removal is only important in substrates that can adsorb phosphorous,but these materials will become saturated.
