Experiment 1: Performance analysis of full scale deep horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (HSSF-CW)

This work deals with investigation of organics and nitrogen removal in deep constructed wetlands treating domestic and hospital wastewater

Experiment 2: Analysis of ARB removal in urban and peri-urban full scale deep HSSF-CW

This work deals with the performance evaluation of deep wetlands in terms of removal of coliforms, pathogens and antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Experiment 3: Tracer studies on lab scale vertical flow constructed wetlands

This work deals with the study of movement of water through lab scale sub-surface flow vertical up-flow wetlands through application of an inert tracer in order to understand the hydrodynamic characteristics like mixing, residence time and short-circuiting within these systems.

Experiment 4. Batch enrichment of Anammox bacteria from deep wetlands

Enrichment of anammox bacteria was attempted in lab scale batch experiment to assess the contribution of anammox bacteria in deep wetlands.

Experiment 5. Systematic analysis of secondary data from vertical flow constructed wetlands for organics, nitrogen and phosphorous removal

Analysis of secondary data from VFCW for organics (n=82), nitrogen (n=76) and phosphorous (n=55) removals is being carried out to derive correlations of loading rates with different parameters.
