Assessing the capacity of local ecosystems to meet industrial demand for ecosystem services

Despite the importance of ecosystems, engineering activities continue to ignore or greatly undervalue their role. Consequently, engineered systems often overshoot nature's capacity to support them, causing ecological degradation. Such systems tend to be inherently unsustainable, and they often fail to benefit from nature's ability to provide essential goods and services. This work explores the idea of including ecosystems in chemical processes, and assesses whether such a techno-ecological synergistic system can operate within ecological constraints. The demand for ecosystem services is quantified by emissions and resources used, while the supply is provided by ecosystems

“…The research team therefore opted for an iterative design process, with the first iteration acting as pilot system that could be modified while residents and researchers gained a better understanding of community desires and needs. In March 2020 two horizontal, sub-surface CWs (Sheridan et al, 2014) were installed in Setswetla.…”

Greywater disposal in urban informal settlements currently leads to the presence of potentially harmful wastewater in the community. In this paper we describe how HFE contributed to the improved design of a nature-based solution, constructed wetlands, implemented for the channelling and treatment of greywater in an informal settlement. Using observational ethnographic activity analysis in two phases, HFE was used to identify human user interaction issues requiring redesign and to evaluate the effectiveness of the design recommendations. The paper demonstrates the value of HFE to the design team in getting community members to use the constructed wetlands and to provide additional services to the community not envisaged by the design team.

“…A gravel HSSF CW can be considered to be a type of packedbed reactor (Sheridan et al, 2014a;Sheridan et al, 2014b;Vymazal and Kröpfelová, 2009). An understanding of wetland hydraulics is a pre-requisite for an investigation into the kinetics of contaminant degradation (Headley and Kadlec, 2007), (Fogler, 2006).…”

“…The hydraulic investigation of the pilot CW at the UFZ was performed by means of an impulse-response tracer test according to the methodology described by Headley and Kadlec (2007). Tracer studies should be conducted under laminar, or reversible flow, conditions (Sheridan et al, 2014a;Sheridan et al, 2014b). Before commencing the flow test, the Reynolds number was calculated for the wetland system (Subramanian, 2004) and verified to be less than 10, which confirmed that flow was well within the laminar region (Miller and Clesceri, 2002).…”

In this study, biomimetic principles were incorporated into a kinetic study of a pilot-scale, horizontal subsurface-flow constructed wetland (6.0 m × 1.0 m × 0.5 m) in Leipzig, Germany. The bed contained glacial gravel (4-8 mm) planted with Phragmites australis. Construction was completed in October 2013 and experiments commenced in August 2015. During establishment, the system was fed with only municipal tap water (165 L·d −1 ). The Phragmites root system had penetrated to the bottom of the wetland within 18 months. To break into the constructed wetland 'black box', the system was divided into a three-dimensional grid of sample ports. Initially, the wetland was physicochemically characterized (prior to addition of nutrients from an external source) in order to quantify the natural, baseline state. Thereafter, an impulse-response tracer test was conducted, using a fluorometer, for continual measurement of uranine concentration. 100% tracer recovery was achieved. The RTD was multi-modal -indicating by-pass flow -and showed long tailing due to mixing, diffusive effects and dead zones. Kinetic performance was investigated via monitoring total organic carbon and total nitrogen degradation, with a continual feed of artificial domestic wastewater (110 mg·L −1 COD). 93% reduction in TOC and TN was achieved for 5 weeks (11 November -08 December 2015), despite high inflow loading (69.9 g·m −3 ·d −1 TOC; 28.1 g·m −3 ·d −1 TN) and colder temperatures. There was a general decline in reaction rate and rate constant from late October to early December. The average rates of TOC and TN removal were 65.08 ± 2.16 g·m −3 ·d −1 and 26.22 ± 0.68 g·m −3 ·d −1, respectively (Tanks-In-Series model). These results are the first set in a series. Continual observation and repetition of these experiments into long-term operation will deepen understanding of the internal development and performance of constructed wetlands, as is in line with the biomimetic approach, and provide the basis of a framework for improved wetland design.
