Description
This work investigates the performance of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process coupled to a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland for the treatment of domestic wastewater. It examines a number of parameters that vary due to seasonal variations such as temperature, flow rate, influent pollutant concentration/dilution (Fernández del Castillo et al., 2022) and the impact it has in the quality of the treated effluent. The treated effluent should meet the qualitative characteristics for unrestricted irrigation.
