24-31 METODE DE REDUCERE A COSTURILOR DE EXPLOATARE PENTRU STAȚIILE DE EPURARE RURALE
METHODS OF REDUCING THE OPERATING COSTS FOR
WASTEWATER TREATMENT IN RURAL SETTLEMENTS
This paper represents an analysis of the development of sewage treament
plants, in Romania, for the next decade. It also describes the current solutions
to reduce operating costs for wastewater treatment. Although current solutions
are viable for large capacity wastewater treatment plants, they are not efficient
for small capacity water treatment plants from rural areas. This paper identifies
unconventional and extensive technologies of wastewater treatment as optimal
solutions for rural settlements. One of these technologies is the constructed
wetlands. Identifying and understanding that constructed wetlands are the
optimal solution for rural settlements is an important milestone for the aiming to
reduce the energy costs at national level and thus reduce the risks related to
environmental pollution.
