“…Their study showed that aerated treatment wetlands (both HF and VF) showed higher micropollutant removal than a (non-aerated) HF wetland. Auvinen et al [94] report that continuous (24 h/d) aeration improved removal of a variety of micropollutants from municipal wastewater as well as hospital wastewater. Nivala et al [69] report that DO, ORP, water temperature and design complexity are the most important factors determining removal of selected micropollutants, and that aerated wetlands exhibit more robust removal of micropollutants (e.g., smaller variations in percent mass removal over the course of a year) compared to other wetland designs.…”

This paper outlines recent advances in the design, application, and operations and maintenance (O&M) of aerated treatment wetland systems as well as current research trends. We provide the first-ever comprehensive estimate of the number and geographical distribution of aerated treatment wetlands worldwide and review new developments in aerated wetland design and application. This paper also presents and discusses first-hand experiences and challenges with the O&M of full-scale aerated treatment wetland systems, which is an important aspect that is currently not well reported in the literature. Knowledge gaps and suggestions for future research on aerated treatment wetlands are provided.

“…Examples are aeration, artificial substrates, bioaugmentation and varying redox conditions, in the form of sequential CW systems. Aeration increases the aerobic biodegradation of pharmaceuticals from a hospital wastewater (Auvinen et al, 2017), while multiple redox conditions allow both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation. Bioaugmentation is the addition of microorganisms known to degrade certain contaminants to a CW.…”

Large volumes of freshwater are used globally for cooling towers. The reuse of discharged cooling tower water in cooling towers itself could mitigate freshwater scarcity problems. Prior to its reuse, the cooling tower blowdown has to be desalinated. However, physicochemical desalination techniques are hampered by conditioning chemicals (CC) that are added to the cooling tower water circuit to prevent corrosion, mineral scaling, and biofouling and can damage physicochemical desalination equipment. The potential of constructed wetlands (CWs) for the cost-effective removal of these CC prior to desalination is discussed in this review. The characteristics of CWs that determine their suitability for the removal of CC from cooling tower blowdown are elucidated, such as multiple removal pathways working simultaneously. In addition, specific challenges for the design of a constructed wetland for cooling tower blowdown treatment are reviewed, such as configuration options, the toxicity of CC, and the formation and removal of harmful byproducts.
