인공습지 실험시설의 5년간 결과 및 고찰(지역환경 \circled3)

Review of 5-year Experimental Data from Treatment Wetland

Field experiment was performed from August 1996 to June 2000. The pilot plant was installed in Konkuk University and the effluent from septic tank of school building was used as an influent to the treatment basin. The treatment basin was composed of sand and reed. Average removal rate of BOD, SS was about 75.9%, 73.4%, respectively. T-P removal rate was about 47.3%, and T-N removal rate was 19.6%. The reason for poor T-N removal might be due to high influent concentration and short retention times. As operation period increased, BOD removal rates were increased, and SS and T-P removal rates did not change significantly, but T-N removal rates were decreased.
