Vertical flow constructed wetlands for wastewater and sludge treatment represent a relatively new and still growing technology. Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands is the first book to present the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding vertical flow constructed wetlands theory and applications. In this book, you will learn about vertical flow systems with information about application and performance. Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands also includes information on how different countries are applying the technology, with design guidelines to illustrate best practices worldwide.
Introduction -- Constructed wetlands classification -- VFCW types -- VFCW components -- Treatment processes in VFCWs -- Domestic and municipal wastewater treatment -- Treatment of special wastewaters -- Modelling of vertical flow constructed wetlands -- General aspects of sludge management -- Sludge treatment wetlands : basic design considerations -- Processes and mechanisms of sludge dewatering -- Performance of sludge treatment wetlands -- Techno-economic aspects of vertical flow constructed wetlands.
