Natural sewage recycling systems
The work done at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the development of natural systems which produce potable water from sewage is reviewed. Conventional treatment plant hardware beyond aeration is not used in these prototype marsh/pond and meadow/marsh/pond systems and no sludge is generated. Experiments with two prototype systems are described and performance data are presented in detail for the marsh/pond. Empirical interpretations of results achieved to date are suggested for use in the design of marsh/ponds as natural sewage recycling systems. Construction and operating costs for a proposed 250,000 gpd, state-of-the-art plant are presented.
