The pilot plant consist of a rotary screen, a first-generation multi-chamber digester, and two horizontal subsurface flow treatment wetlands (HSFCW) with a pond installed between them. Results show that the removal efficiency of total chemical oxygen demand (CODt), total suspended solids (TSS), volatile solids (VS) and total dissolved solids (TDS) of the treatment were 91.77%, 95.99%, 82.62%, and 55.78%, respectively. Other removal values include 93.79% for total nitrogen (TN) and 93.05% for phosphorus (P2O5). The results demonstrate the suitability of NTSW solutions applied to livestock waste in pig farms and their potential application to other farms of similar size. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/110804 | ISSN: | 0045-6535 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131529 | Source: | Chemosphere [ISSN 0045-6535], v. 285, 131529, (Diciembre 2021) |
