Constructed wetlands are becoming more and more popular for treating all industrial wastewaters in addition to secondary municipal wastewaters in many countries. The effectiveness of a vertical flow engineered wetland system for removing contaminants from dairy effluent was examined in this study. The Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland was built and treated dairy effluent continuously for two months. The two plant species Canna generalis and Hedychium Coronarium were planted in the wetland unit, which also had varied substrate material compositions (such as coarse gravel, fine sized gravel, soil, and sand) with varying substrate thickness and gradations. At the unit's outflow, water samples were taken, and they underwent laboratory analysis to identify various pollutants. It was discovered that the performance was enhanced by the presence of plants; however plant species had no impact on productivity. The removal efficiencies of organic matter (BOD5, COD) from the vertical flow constructed wetland were 91% and 78%, respectively. TDS removal was 67.2% and turbidity removal was 68%. Under conditions of high organic loads and retention time, it was discovered that the systems significantly reduces pollutant concentrations.
