Nutrient recycling efficiency of a two-chamber septage treatment system

A 2-chamber septage treatment system, composed of deposited pool and hydroponic pool, was designed. The treatment system is found to effectively purify septage. The treated septage containing lower N and P can be used of hydroponics of Lolium multiflorum, Oenanthe stolonifera Wall., Lactuca sativa L.var. angustana Irish., Polygonum iapathifolium, Brassica chinensis L., Lactuca sativa L. and Allium ascalonicum L. with less wastewater decomposing and high yield. The system is suitable for septage treatment even in winter. Thus this form of septage purification is an ecologically safe disposal technique and it is suitable for application in small towns. While purification potential of deposited pool is developed, this purification technique is found to be a lot more effective.
