INTRODUCTION:
One of the biological treatments is floating treatment
wetland which is cost effective, highly efficient and simple
technique to treat wastewater. FTW are called small artificial
platforms that allow aquatic emergent plant to grow in water. The
unique ecosystem that develops, creates the potential to capture
nutrients and transform common pollutants that would otherwise
plague and harm our lakes into harmless by products.
Floating treatment wetland not used in larger scale because it
requires Complex formulae, mathematical equations so it will
require time to design wetland so there is a requirement of simpler
approach for design and optimizing the parameters to get higher
pollutant removal efficiencies.one of the simpler approach is
analytical modelling of floating wetland
AIM: To optimize and validate the pollutant removal efficiencies
of floating wetland for sustainable treatment of domestic
wastewater.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To study and identify the kinetics of Floating Wetland for
treatment of domestic wastewater.
2. To optimize the parameters to maximize the pollutant removal
efficiencies.
3. To develop an analytical model for optimization process.
4. To validate the results of model.
SIGNIFICANCE:
• The goal of design of Analytical Model of Floating Wetland
for treatment of Domestic wastewater is achieve.
• Provision of Cost effective and time saving solution for
treatment of wastewater by using sustainable treatment
(FTW).
METHODOLOGY:
Literature Survey
Identifying Different mechanisms
Studying The kinetics
Collection of input data
Optimization Of parameter
Analytical modeling of wetland
Validation of results
RESULT:
 The model is developed in a format such that when the input
values (Discharge, temperature, Influent BOD5 concentration) are
entered in it we get the calculated output values (area of wetland,
no. of wetlands, and type of plant).
CONCLUSION:
1. The study has reaffirmed the efficiency of different plants in
bioremediation of domestic wastewater. Cattail, Colacassia
Esculenta, Phragmite australis, Brachiara mutica and Canna Indica
are some of the plants which adapt to the Indian climate.
2. After Interpretation of graphs, it concludes that area decreases
at the rate of 5.66% with 1 degree rise in temperature and also
area of wetland required increases with rise in pollutant
concentration.
3. Calculated output values in terms of area of wetland was equal to
the values in case study.
