Abstract: Constructed Wetlands (CWs) and Sludge Drying Reed Beds (SDRBs) technique is often applied in small scale municipal wastewater sludge reduction or storm water treatment. There are very few case studies in using this technique at the industrial scale. The purpose of this study is to find out the wastewater treatment effectiveness of Micronutrient Technique (MNT) combined with CWs in this special paper manufacturer at the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong, PRC. This experiment and the results have been found that MNT and CWs combined process can be used to improve the efficiency of this industrial wastewater treatment plant.
