Abstract:Samples from 28 A2O combined with horizontal flow constructed wetlands (A2O-HFCWs) and 46 A2O combined with vertical flow constructed wetlands (A2O-VFCWs) in Haining County, Jiaxing City were collected, chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and suspended solids (SS) in the influent and effluent were determined. Then the stability of effluent quality and compliance rate were evaluated, the comparisons between these two processes on the performance of rural domestic sewage treatment, and the problems of design and operation, were conducted. The results showed that: The compliance rates of A2O-VFCWs were higher than those of A2O-HFCWs.The effluent stability of A2O-VFCWs was good in winter, but poor in summer. The average removal rates of COD, NH3-N, TN and TP by A2O+VFCWs were (82.0±18.5)%, (94.8±8.8)%, (49.3±16.8)%, and (50.9±16.8)% in winter, respectively, while they were (72.5±13.2)%, (80.0±16.9)%, (30.0±17.8)%, and (30.7±18.9) % in summer, respectively. The main unit being responsible for pollutants removal was VFCWs. For A2O+HFCWs, the average removal rates of COD, NH3-N, TN and TP by A2O+VFCWs were (59.3±21.4)%, (79.1±19.9)%, (42.3±17.3)% and (25.0±10.2)% in winter, respectively,, while they were (62.2±18.0)%, (58.1±30.8)%, (40.6±20.0)% and (28.9±15.7)% in summer, respectively. The main unit being responsible for pollutants removal was A2O. The average TN and TP removal rates of A2O unit in A2O+VFCWs were (20.7±16.3)% and (15.6±10.2)% in winter, (20.4±11.9)% and (12.6±13.9)% in summer, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of A2O unit in A2O+HFCWs: (33.2±16.3)% and (25.0±10.2)% in winter, (31.3±24.1)% and (21.9±17.4)% in summer, respectively, The reason was the small effective volume and insufficient dissolved oxygen control. The removal efficiencies of A2O unit in these two combined processes were not ideal, which may be related to the low ratio of carbon to nitrogen and insufficient sludge discharge. The average removal rates of COD, NH3-N, TN and TP of VFCWs unit in A2O+VFCWs were (58.8±25.4)%, (61.4±24.4)%, (22.7±8.5)%, and (27.4±21.2)% in winter, which were 16.0%, 36.9%, 1.3%, and 9.5% higher than those of HFCWs, respectively; they were (59.9±25.0)%, (71.6±26.5)%, (38.3±32.8)%, and (39.2±32.9)% in summer, which were 28.8%, 52.6%, 10.5%, and 5.0% higher than those of HFCWs, respectively. The main reasons were the lower design hydraulic load and lower outlet level of VFCWs. To sum up, the county-level city was suggested to improve the performance of A2O or constructed wetland by upgrading structure of the units and optimizing operation strategies. Key words:rural domestic sewage/ A2O/ horizontal flow constructed wetland/ vertical flow constructed wetland/ nitrogen and phosphorus removal.
