Winery High Organic Content Wastewaters Treated by Constructed Wetlands in Mediterranean Climate

Three different multistage constructed wetland plants for wineries wastewater treatment, located in central Italy, have been monitored and designed by the IRIDRA Ltd engineering firm. This paper presents the principal design specifications, a description of the plant operations and the analyses of influent and effluent characteristics (pH, COD, BOD5, TN, TP, TSS).
