The investigation was carried out at two different hybrid constructed wetlands, which
treated municipal sewage after mechanical treatment from small villages in Pomeranian
Region, In all facilities first step of biological treatment were horizontal flow beds, The
main difference concerns configuration of the facilities and sewage distributions systems
into vertical flow beds, The measurement period was divided into vegetation (from April
to October) and outside vegetation seasons (from November to March) for all analysed
facilities.
The results allowed for estimation of efficiency removal of different contaminations in
both measurements seasons. Comparison of the amount of sewage and loads of
contamination inflowing and outflowing from the facilities are presented. Achieved
results make it possible to estimate the rate of organic matter decomposition and nitrogen
removal in vegetation and outside vegetation seasons.
