Resumo
The use of constructed wetlands (CW) in the treatment of septic waste (SW) is still very limited in
Brazil, mainly due to limited research on the topic. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
use of a vertical downward flow toilets in the treatment of SW, emphasizing specifically on the
treatment efficiency of the percolated liquid and sludge accumulated in the cells of treatments for
compliance with Brazilian environmental legislation. Two cells were built (one vegetated with
vetiver grass and other vegetation without) experimental for reception and treatment of SW. Any
gross SW as the liquid fraction leachate treated, besides the accumulated sludge in beds were
evaluated by physical-chemical and microbiological parameters over time. It was observed that the
toilet was more efficient and adequate compliance with environmental legislation in the control
tank, with the exception of ammonia nitrogen content in the treated leachate. The system without
plants always showed high variation of efficiency and little compliance with legislation. Regarding
the accumulated sludge, both treatment beds had treatment efficiency for future agricultural use, but
for that there was a need for at least one month as a period of "rest" without applications.
