The performance of six separate percolation areas was intensively monitored to ascertain
the attenuation effects of unsaturated subsoils with respect to on-site wastewater effluent …

The potential of biochar as a filter medium for onsite wastewater treatment was investigated
in five sub-studies. Sub-study 1 compared pollutant removal from wastewater using pine …

Greywater flows and concentrations vary greatly, thus evaluation and prediction of the
response of on-site treatment filters to variable loading regimes is challenging. The …

Abstract Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWTS) are often cited as significant
sources of pollution in rural catchments. A mass balance based model has been developed …

On‐site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) can contribute nitrogen (N) to coastal waters.
In coastal areas with shallow groundwater, OWTS are likely affected by meteorological …

This research has used fluorescence spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC)
in order to characterize dissolved organic matter in septic tank effluent, as it passes through …

An extensive field study on percolation areas receiving both septic tank and secondary
treated on-site effluents from single houses in Ireland was carried out to investigate the …

On-site treatment of residential wastewater is important for rural and remote regions where
centralized wastewater treatment may not be feasible. Sand filtration is a proven method for …

Soil treatment units (STUs) receiving effluent from on-site wastewater treatment systems
(OWTSs) rely on the gradual development of a microbial biomat/biozone at the infiltrative …

SAMMANFATTNING I områden utanför tätorter där fastigheterna inte är anslutna till
