Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ... -
Economic analysis of pig manure treatment options in Ireland.
(2012)An economic analysis was performed on treatment options for pig manure in Ireland. Costs were based on a 500 sow integrated pig farm producing 10,500 m3 of manure per year at 4.8 % dry matter. The anaerobic digestion of ... -
Habit suitability assessment of constructed wetlands for the Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris [Linnaeus, 1758]): a comparison with natural wetlands
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)Given the current decline of natural wetlands worldwide and the consequent negative impacts on amphibians, wetlands constructed for the treatment of wastewaters have the potential to play a role in the protection of these ... -
Harvesting effects on biomass and nutrient retention in phragmites australis in a free-water surface constructed wetland in western Ireland
(The Royal Irish Academy, 2008-06-26)The aim of this study was to examine the seasonal variation in biomass, total nitrogen (Tot-N) and total phosphorus (Tot-P) content of Phragmites australis in a 3-cell free-water surface (FWS) constructed wetland in western ... -
A novel hybrid coagulation-constructed wetland system for the treatment of dairy wastewater
(Elsevier, 2022-07-29)Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a cost-effective and sustainable treatment technology that may be used on farms to treat dairy wastewater (DWW). However, CWs require a large area for optimal treatment and have poor long-term ... -
The performance of constructed wetlands treating primary, secondary and dairy soiled water in Ireland (a review).
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2011-11-01)In Ireland, no database detailing the design, influent loading rates or performance of constructed wetlands (CWs) exists. On account of this, they are designed without any protocol based on empirical data. The aim of ... -
Seasonal patterns of metals and nutrients in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel in a constructed wetland in the west of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2017-07-23)An understanding of the seasonal variation in the standing stock of metals and nutrients in emergent vegetation of constructed wetlands (CWs), as well as the amounts present in aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) biomass, ... -
Treatment of dairy wastewater using constructed wetlands and intermittent sand filters
(Bioresource Technology, 2007-06-01)In Ireland, the most common method of disposal of dairy parlour washings is by land spreading. This treatment method has numerous problems, namely high labour requirements and the potential for eutrophication of surface ...
