Potential Replacement of Septic Tank Drain Fields by Artificial Marsh Wastewater Treatment Systems

Potential Replacement of Septic Tank Drain Fields by Artificial Marsh Wastewater Treatment Systems

Use of emergent marsh vegetation planted in a gravel substrate in a plastic-lined trench to treat septic tank effluent is demonstrated. Treatment of unchlorinated primary municipal effluent reduces BOD 5 by 77%, COD by 71%, orthophosphate by 35%, total phosphorus by 37%, nitrate by 22%, and coliform...

description Use of emergent marsh vegetation planted in a gravel substrate in a plastic-lined trench to treat septic tank effluent is demonstrated. Treatment of unchlorinated primary municipal effluent reduces BOD 5 by 77%, COD by 71%, orthophosphate by 35%, total phosphorus by 37%, nitrate by 22%, and coliform bacteria by 99.9%. The method is useful at summer cottages, camping areas, resorts, and roadside rest areas. Marsh treatment systems are inexpensive to operate and virtually automatic.
