Nutrient removal in a vertical upflow wetland in Piracicaba, Brazil

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that vertical upflow systems are effective in removing nutrients from wetland areas. A system in Piracicaba, Brazil, demonstrated removal rates of 50% for ammonia, 78% for nitrate and 93% for phosphate, and offered the option of recycling nutrients for animal feed or fertilizer.
