The document analyzes the performance of a phytorid technology sewage disposal system. Phytorid technology uses constructed wetlands with reeds to treat sewage through physical, biological, and chemical processes. The analysis tests parameters like pH, turbidity, BOD, and more on an experimental phytorid bed prototype treating 90 liters of sewage with a 24 hour retention period. Results found the system effectively treats sewage with negligible costs and maintenance needs while producing effluent water that can be reused. In conclusion, decentralized phytorid systems are an efficient wastewater treatment approach for local communities given sufficient land area.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Phytorid technology is a type of
constructive wetland system, developed by
National Environmental Engineering
Research Institute (NEERI), CSIR in 2005.
 Type of Decentralized waste water
treatment approach.
 Can be used for treatment of Domestic,
Agricultural, Slaughter house, Fish Pond
water.
 Preferable for pre-treated sewage, when
sufficient land area is available.
 Combines Physical, Biological and
Chemical processes.
3. COMPONENTS OF PHYTORID BED
3 mm coarse aggregate 40 mm coarse aggregate Small stone Chippings
Base Model Aerator Reed (Phragmites spp)
4. DESIGN OF PHYTORID BED
• Capacity of the prototype: 90 liters.
• Batch Process.
• Dimensions of the Prototype:
0.9m×0.5m×0.5m(Including influent and
effluent pipes)
• Dimensions of Phytorid Bed:
0.6m×0.5m×0.5m
• Freeboard from top: 0.15 meters.
• Aerating pipe provided at 0.30 meters
from the top.(Perforated PVC pipe)
• Retention Period: 24 hours
10. ADVANTAGES OF PHYTORID BASED SEWAGE SYSTEMS
Cost-effective.
Operation and maintenance expenses are negligible.
Minimum electricity requirement, nearly fossil energy free.
Smaller footprint (Retention time: Typically less than 24 hrs).
 Facilitates recycle and reuse of water.
No foul odour and No Mosquito Nuisance.
Tolerates fluctuations in operating conditions such as flow,
temperature and pH.
11. CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it is
concluded that Phytorid technology is
one of the efficient way of
decentralized treatment of water,
requiring negligible operational and
maintenance cost, but more land area
for higher volume of sewage. Hence,
it can be adapted in local societies
and institutions. Moreover,
improvements should be further
made to improve the quality and
efficiency of the phytorid system.
The effluent water can be used for
irrigation, dilution, flush tanks etc.
