Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more
TREATMENT OF SLAUGHTER HOUSE WASTEWATER UTILIZING COGON GRASS (Imperata cylindrica) IN A SUBSURFACE FLOW SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED WETLAND IN ZAMBOANGA CITY, PHILIPPINES
(Corresponding) Flores R., (Corresponding) Adil J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Natural treatment systems are gaining a preference for wastewater treatment as an ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change. This study investigated the performance of a laboratory scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (SSFCW) planted with cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) in...Read more
APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia
(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

Development and demonstration of an eco-innovative system for sustainable treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater in small and medium size communities in the Mediterranean region
(Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A., Takavakoglou V., Chatzis V., Oller-Alberola I., Polo-López I., Al-Naboulsi T., El Moll A., Kallali H., Mensi K., M'Hiri F., Simon Andreu P.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Treated municipal wastewater is considered a valuable non-conventional water resource. However, a substantial number of wastewater treatment plants installed in the Mediterranean region have proven to be unsuccessful copies of systems operating in technolo-gically advanced countries. In addition to...Read more

Start-up of full-scale UASB - verftical flow constructed wetland for domestic wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Malamis S., Statiris E., Seintos T., Koukoura A., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C., Masi F., Rizzo A., Bresciani R.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This work examined the start-up of a full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) - vertical flow constructed wetland (CW) for domestic wastewater treatment. The UASB reactors were inoculated with sludge originating from an industrial anaerobic reactor and the start-up period due to the slow...Read more
A pilot scale of constructed wetlands (CWs) was designed, constructed and operated on August 2022 at pharmaceutical factory in Jordan. This pilot is aiming to remove pharmaceuticals (i.e. antibiotics) from treated industrial wastewater generated from secondary activated sludge system. Jordanian...Read more
Use of recycled construction and demolition waste as substrate in hybrid constructed wetlands for the treatment of Olive Mill Wastewater.
Kotsia D., Anastasiadi Z., (Corresponding) Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid constructed wetlands (CWs) for treating olive mill wastewater (OMW) using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste as substrate material. The experiment was conducted at the outdoor research facility of the...Read more
