Feasibility Study of Municipal Wastewater Treatment by a Subsurface Infiltration System in Northeast, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

From October 2009 to September 2010, this study focused on investigation the performance of a subsurface wastewater infiltration (SWI) system in treating domestic sewage, and evaluated the potential of the surface water pollution by using the SWI system. The results showed the removal efficiencies were relatively high: for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and total phosphorus (TP) were 95.0, 89.1, 98.1 87.6 and 98.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, the monitoring of a nearby stream characteristic indicated the SWI system could not decrease the receiving surface water quality.
