A TESTING STUDY OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT USING REED BED SYSTEM

Following industrialisation, a number of companies generate poisonous waste materials are carelessly dumped into streams and rivers, harming both aquatic and terrestrial life. In this study, a reed bed system for harmful metal removal from industrial waste water was examined. In the Amrutha water treatment plant, a vertical subsurface flow wetland was created to remove hazardous metals from industrial effluent. For the Wetland system, phragmites Karka was employed, and the substrates used were granite and washed sand. Hydraulic retention times of 5, 9, 10, 14, and 18 days were used to record treatment performance. You can create a waste water treatment facility in your own garden with a reed bed sewage system. It must be used in conjunction with a septic tank in order to function as a sewage system. Two reed beds are required for a reed bed sewage system to function properly. One bed must fill for a while while the other drains, and then the process must be reversed. The results indicated that the hazardous metals gradually decreased as the retention times increased. The reed bed rate removal ranges from 36.8% to 61.5%. These findings support the phragmites karka reed plant's ability to effectively treat industrial effluent.
