Implementation of a subsurface wetland for the depuration of oily water from an automotive scrubbing plant
Abstrak
In the present research, a characterization of the effluent wastewater from the primary treatment of a detailing shop (belonging to a railroad construction company at the center of Cuba) was carried out. The effluent does not comply with the Average Maximum Permissible Limits (AMPL) established by the Cuban Standard (NC 27:2012)1 and as a solution a 12 m2 subsurface wetland was designed and planted with Cyperus Alternifolius L. The removal efficiencies were above 85% and after three years were greater than 90%, in coincidence with a massive increase in vegetation. In addition, a kinetic study was carried out, obtaining a better adjustment to the saturation or Monod kinetic model. The kinetic and saturation constants determined for organic matter removal (in a three-day period of operation) with variations in the influent COD concentration will allow the subsequent design of other subsurface wetlands under similar climatic and operating conditions.
