Real time monitoring of suitable surrogate parameters are critical to the validation of any water treatment processes, and is of particularly high importance for validation of natural stormwater treatment systems. In this study, potential surrogates for herbicide removal in …
Objectives: A pre-validation roadmap, consisting of five steps, is suggested in this paper. Detailed methods for investigating target micropollutants in stormwater, and determining challenge conditions for biofilters and wetlands, are provided. Methods: A literature review was undertaken to identify and quantify micropollutants in stormwater.
A wide range of chemical, biological and physical processes act to retain or transform incoming stormwater pollutants. The plants, filter media and microbial community all play important roles in pollutant processing, as stormwater enters the biofilter and infiltrates through the media. All biofilters operate using the same basic principles.
Stormwater biofilters are being implemented widely in urban environments to provide green space, alleviate flooding, and improve stormwater quality. However, biofilters with conventional media (sand, soil, and/or mulch or compost) do not reliably remove contaminants from stormwater. Research suggests additio Environmental Science: Water Research & …
Biofilters and wetlands for stormwater treatment and harvesting CRC S C 7 Figure 1: Schematic diagram of a lined biofilter without a SZ (top) and with a SZ (bottom) (Source: FAWB (2009)). 2 BIO FILTERS Biofiltration systems or biofilters, are soil-plant based filtration systems which can be easily scaled and incorporated into urban landscapes.
In order to determine the influence of design parameters and operating conditions on the pollutant removal performance of biofilters, a range of factors was tested ().Plant selection was based on criteria described in Read et al. (2008) and included plants of different characteristics (e.g. tree, shrub, sedge). Five replicates were tested for each configuration, …

Increasing attention has been given to the treatment of livestock and poultry wastewater because of its high ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) content and low carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N). Ceramic filter medium (CFM) and dewatered aluminum sludge (DAS), which are products from cast-off materials, are used as small-scale combined biological filters (CFM …
A typical biofilter with submerged zone consists of three main parts (): (1) the ponding zone creating a temporary store for incoming stormwater, (2) the unsaturated zone that consists of filter media, with plants grown on the top, and (3) the submerged zone/saturated zone (SZ), which is created by a raised outflow pipe (raised outflow pipe) and also consists of filter media …
Biofilters have been shown to effectively treat stormwater and achieve nutrient load reduction targets. However, effluent concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus typically exceed environmental targets for receiving water protection. This study investigates the role of filter media, vegetation and …

The intermittent nature of stormwater runoff impacts the treatment performance of biofilters, also known as stormwater biofiltration or bioretention systems and raingardens. During extended dry periods, which are common even in temperate climates, plants can …

People Assoc Prof Kathryn Mumford. Dr Kathryn Mumford is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Melbourne.. Kathryn's research interests are in the areas of separations processes specifically ion exchange, solvent absorption and solvent extraction technologies.
Organic de-icing chemicals, such as propylene glycol and potassium formate, cause environmental degradation in receiving water if left untreated, due to the high organic load resulting in oxygen depletion. Biofilters are commonly used for the treatment of biodegradable organic carbon in water treatment. This study investigated the potential for using biofilters for …
SEPARATIONS: ABSORBERS CHEMICAL Absorbers bring gas and liquid phases in contact, so that contaminants in the gas phase absorb ABSORBERS into the liquid phase as a result of their interaction. ADSORBERS ABOUT ABSORPTION BIOFILTERS During absorption, soluble components of a gas mixture dissolve into a liquid.
biofilters, biofiltration basins, bioretention basins and raingardens) are just one facet of a range of accepted Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) elements. They are a low energy treatment technology that slow stormwater runoff to gain natural filtration, on-site detention and infiltration. They provide both water quality and quantity benefits
After 6 months of operation a long-term biofilter was stopped for two weeks and then it was started up again for a second experimental period of almost 1.3 years, with high toluene loads and submitted to several physical and chemical treatments in order to remove excess biomass that could affect the reactor's performance due to clogging, whose main effect is a …
