| Abstract | ||
| Constructed Wetlands (CW) are engineered wastewater treatment systems filled with porous media and planted with emergent wetland plants. The aim of his study was to analyze the phytoremoval effectiveness byTyphaangustataand Phragmitesaustralisto treat Sewage industry effluent in CW systems as vertical flow subsurface treatment. Local wetland soil CW showed significant improvement in all parameters. Phragmitesaustralisgave 97.84% reduction in COD and 99.77% BOD whereas Ammonical Nitrogen and organic Nitrogen were 99.13% and 92.05% respectively. Treatment using Typhaangustata reduces COD 99.34% and 99.06% BOD while Ammonical Nitrogen and organic Nitrogen were reduced 23.85% and 56.42% respectively. The results were also statistically verified using one way ANOVA and 2 tailed t-test Analysis. The study shows that Sewage industry effluents treated in vertical flow subsurface wetland with Phragmitesaustralisgives best reduction in all the parameters of water with retention time of 7HRT. | ||
