- the patent application WO2011157406 describes the nature of the substrate to maintain a good permeability of said substrate for, in particular, the elimination of organochlorine compounds.
- the patent application WO2006030164 describes a method for managing compartments planted with plant macro and describes in particular the alternation of feed and non-feed phases of the compartments to promote the alternation of aerobic and anoxic phases or anaerobic in the artificial wetland.
- these devices are intended to promote a particular purifying process. These techniques have important limitations for the treatment of modern effluents. Indeed, if these devices allow a good elimination of macro pollutants, the use of a single treatment process may have limited effectiveness for many organic pollutants or minerals. For example, these wetlands may have limited efficacy for the treatment of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals.
- these devices can achieve satisfactory sanitation efficiency at the cost of a significant footprint, of the order of 10 to 20 m 2 / equivalent inhabitants depending on the nature of the effluent and the treatment objectives.
- This footprint remains too large to allow the installation of artificial wetlands in areas where land is expensive and / or not available.
- Wetlands allow elimination of micropollutants rainwater. Wetlands can also be used to remove micropollutants from urban or industrial effluents after pre-treatment, in order to reduce the impact of the effluent on the receiving environment, for example.
- the simplest wetlands consist of one or more lagoons, natural or man-made, through which / transits the effluent. These devices consist preferentially of a large water surface, an average water height of 1 to 1, 5 m, a low flow rate, a long residence time (from several days to several weeks). These wetlands allow the removal of suspended solids that decant, the disinfection of effluents through the penetration into the water column natural UV rays of the sun, and the elimination of organic pollution, nitrogen and phosphorus. These wetlands can generate several degradation mechanisms, including photo-degradation, adsorption (on a substrate, on plants, or suspended solids for example), biodegradation, or assimilation by plants if plants are present in the wetland.

- FIG. 6 a second example of a method for dimensioning an artificial wetland according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 represents a first schematic example of an artificial wetland according to the invention.
- the artificial wetland 100 makes it possible to treat liquids, for example treated wastewater of residential and / or industrial origin.
- the artificial wetland can also treat polluted rainwater, or any other type of aqueous effluent, for example a mixed effluent composed of urban wastewater and rainwater.
- the artificial wetland 100 may, for example, treat the effluents of a purification plant, an urban community or an industrial site, or be located downstream of a watercourse and / or a pond rainwater collector.
- the artificial wetland 100 more specifically allows the purification of at least one target pollutant of the effluent.
- the wet zones according to the invention generally make it possible to treat a large number of pollutants.
- the artificial wetland 100 can be sized for the treatment of a single pollutant, or for the simultaneous treatment of several pollutants.
- the artificial wetland comprises a first compartment 1 10, and a second compartment 120.
- the second compartment 120 is located downstream of the first compartment 1 10, and treats the effluents thereof. The effluents are therefore first treated by the first compartment 1 10, then by the second compartment 120.
- the compartments of wet areas according to the invention are remarkable for their average heights, which allow to promote different purification mechanisms according to the compartments.
- the average height of the compartments may, in the context of the present application, be designated either height or water level.
- the average water level is the average of the water depths of a compartment.
- the first compartment 1 10 has an average water height of between 5 and 70 cm. This height of water makes it possible to promote plant growth and / or adsorption in the at least one first compartment.
- the second compartment has an average water height of between 70 and 150 cm.
- the higher height of the at least one second compartment makes it possible to limit the growth of the plants, and to promote photodegradation and / or decantation.
- Decanting, in the second compartment, suspended materials and / or plants on which adsorbed the pollutant in the at least a first compartment, increases the efficiency of the artificial wetland.
- the combination of these processes makes it possible to achieve high pollutant removal rates with a low footprint.
- the artificial wetland 100 is characterized by an inflow, depending on the source of the effluent to be treated.
- the inflow is generally predictable, depending on the source of the effluent to be treated. For example, if the artificial wetland is positioned at the outlet of a wastewater treatment plant of an urban community, it is possible to provide an inflow of the artificial wetland to be sized according to the number of inhabitants of the urban area. the urban community. Similarly, it is possible to provide a target input flow rate for an artificial wetland to treat the effluents of an industrial zone according to the output flow of the industrial zone.
- the inflow can be a medium flow, or a maximum flow.
- the volume of the first compartment 1 10 may be chosen to allow a first residence time liquid effluents in the first compartment 1 10.
- the volume of the first compartment 1 10 can be defined by multiplying the time of target stay by the inward flow of the first compartment 1 10.
- the volume of the second compartment 120 can be chosen to allow a second residence time of the liquid effluents in the second compartment 120.
- the volume of the second compartment 120 can thus be defined by multiplying the target residence time by the inflow of the second compartment 120
- the volumes of the first compartment 1 10 and the second compartment 120 and ensure the desired duration of reactions taking place in each of the compartments, while limiting the volume of the compartments , and therefore the footprint of the artificial wetland.
- the first and the second residence time are chosen so as to achieve a minimum elimination rate of the at least one target pollutant at the outlet of the second compartment. It is thus possible to ensure the purification performance of the artificial wetland, while limiting its footprint.
- the first and second residence times may be chosen in different ways.
- field data compendia can be used to determine, for a given reaction, a rate of removal of the pollutant by the reaction.
- the residence times may also have been obtained by studying the kinetics of existing wetland compartments and / or by laboratory studies of the kinetics of reactions occurring in mini-basins.
- the artificial wetland is intended to obtain a target elimination rate of several target pollutants.
- the volumes of the first compartment 1 10 and the second compartment 120 can be defined according to the maximum residence time for each compartment. For example, if a target elimination rate of a first pollutant is reached with a residence time of 2 days in the first compartment 1 10, and a target elimination rate of a second pollutant with a residence time of 3 days in the first compartment 1 10, the volume of the first compartment 1 10 can be defined to ensure a residence time of 3 days to ensure the target elimination rate of the two pollutants.
- the volume of the second compartment can be sized to ensure a residence time of 5 days to achieve the target elimination rate of the two pollutants.
- the dimensions of the first compartment 1 10 can further promote the growth of plants, for example to form a reed bed. This condition is fulfilled, for example, when the first compartment has:
- the first compartment 1 10 may have at the same time a low water height, and an elongated shape.
- the first compartment 1 10 then greatly promotes the growth of plants, and the adsorption of pollutants thereon.
- the volume of this first compartment may be selected to guarantee a residence time of the effluents of between 0.5 and 3 days depending on the flow rate entering the compartment. This residence time allows in most cases to ensure a sufficient level of adsorption in a first compartment type reed, while limiting the footprint of the at least a first compartment.
- the dimensions of the first compartment 1 10 are such that the first compartment 1 10 has:
- said at least one first compartment has a perimeter in linear meters greater than or equal to 16% of its area in square meters, less than or equal to 55% of its area in square meters, for example equal to half of its area in square meters;
- This first compartment 1 10 may have a volume allowing a residence time of between 1 and 2 days. This residence time makes it possible, in most cases, to guarantee a sufficient level of adsorption in a first meander-type compartment 1 10, while limiting the footprint of the first compartment 1 10.
- the dimensions of the second compartment 120 are such that:
- the second compartment 120 has a perimeter in linear meters less than or equal to a quarter of its area in square meters, for example equal to 17% of its area in square meters;
- the average water level is greater than or equal to 70 cm and less than or equal to 150 cm.
- a second compartment 120 of the basin type to promote photodegradation and decantation.
- a height of at least 70 cm makes it possible to prevent the growth of helophyte type plants in the compartment in order to promote photodegradation; a height up to 150 cm allows a sufficient amount of photons to reach the bottom of the second compartment 120.
- the photodegradation will take place throughout the second compartment. This makes it possible to have a second compartment 120 having a given volume, with the smallest possible area, and thus to promote photodegradation with a footprint as low as possible.
- the volume of the second compartment allows a residence time of the liquid effluents in a second compartment 120 between 1 and 5 days depending an inflow of said second compartment 120. This residence time allows, in most cases, to ensure a sufficient level of photodegradation and settling in the second compartment 120 lagoon type, while limiting the footprint of the second compartment 120.
- the possible dimensions of the first compartment 1 10 and the second compartment 120 can define a set of compartment shapes. Thus, if these dimensions make it possible to ensure a level of elimination of the target pollutant (s), the shape of the first compartment 1 10 and the shape of the second compartment 120 can be defined to adapt to external constraints, for example for adapt to the land available where the area is to be located.
- Figure 2 shows a second schematic example of artificial wetland according to the invention.
- the artificial wetland 200 is intended for use similar to that of the artificial wetland 100 described with reference to Figure 1.
- the artificial wetland 200 comprises a reed-like compartment 210 similar to the first compartment 1 10 (with a perimeter in linear meters greater than or equal to one-tenth of its area in square meters, less than or equal to one-sixth of its area in square meters), two basin type compartments 220 and 221 similar to the second compartment 120, a meander type compartment 21 1 similar to the first compartment 1 10 (with a perimeter in linear meters greater than or equal to 5% of its area in meters squares less than or equal to 55% of its area in square meters, for example equal to half of its area in square meters), and a third basin type compartment 222 similar to the second compartment 120.
- the artificial wet zone 200 thus allows an alternation of compartments favoring different reactions, with in particular, in the order of flow of the effluent:
- the compartment 210 of the reed type favoring the growth of plants and adsorption to plants;
- the volumes of the compartments of the artificial wetland 200 can be defined for example such that:
- the residence time in compartment 210 is 1 day, and that in compartment 21 1 is 2 days;
- compartment 210 or the residence time in compartment 210 is 1.5 days, and that in compartment 21 1 is 1.5 days.
- the design of the artificial wetland 200 makes it possible to modulate the residence times, and therefore the volumes and the surfaces, of the different compartments so as to ensure that an overall residence time in compartments allowing a given reaction is respected, while allowing greater flexibility in the choice of volumes and surfaces between the different compartments.
- This makes it possible to adapt the design of an artificial wetland according to the invention to additional factors, such as the size and layout of the available land, or integration into the landscape.
- compartments are given by way of example, and the invention is applicable to a large number of possible compartments arrangements, from the moment when one or more compartments 120, 220, 221, 222 having heights Average water averages between 70 and 150 cm are placed downstream of one or more compartments 10, 210, 21 1 having water heights between 5 and 70 cm.
- the considerations mentioned above concerning the distribution of volumes, surfaces, and residence times among the compartments favoring the same reaction can also be applied to any artificial wetland according to the invention, which allows a even greater flexibility of the dimensions of wet areas according to the invention.
- the invention thus promotes synergies between purification processes, while allowing great flexibility in the shape and arrangement of the compartments. This makes it possible to define wetlands with the desired purification capacities, while at the same time optimally adapting the layout of the wetlands to the available land.

- the presence of valleys makes it possible to improve the distribution of the flow entering the compartment. It should however be noted that the presence of valleys is optional, this example is not limiting and artificial wetlands according to the invention may not include valleys.
- the basin-type compartments 220, 221 and 222 each comprise a zone with shoals, respectively the zones 320, 321 and 322.
- the zones with shallows make it possible to promote the emergence of macrophytes in compartments where they are present, and thus promote settling.
- Shoal areas can also lengthen the hydraulic path in a basin, and thus increase sedimentation without impacting the water surface.
- a basin-type compartment may also include several shallow areas.
- a shoal area may have a decreasing slope of the bank towards the center of the compartment where it is located, to specifically promote the emergence of macrophytes near the banks of the at least a second compartment.

- the volume of the compartment 621 can be obtained directly by multiplying the target residence time 61 1 in the compartment by the inflow 612.
- each reaction 601 to be favored is associated with an average water height 622, or a range of heights.
- the average height 622 can be between 5 and 70 cm; if the reaction 601 to be favored is photodegradation, the average height 622 may be between 70 and 150 cm.
- the method 600 comprises, after the volume calculation step 620, a step 630 for calculating the area 631 of the compartment.
- the area 631 can be calculated by dividing the volume 621 of the compartment by the average height 622 of the compartment.
- each reaction 601 to be favored is associated with a perimeter / area ratio 622, or a range of ratios.
- a compartment intended to promote plant growth and plant adsorption may have a perimeter in linear meters of between one-tenth and one-sixth of its area in square meters; a compartment designed to promote adsorption to the substrate or suspended solids may have a perimeter in linear meters of between 5% and 55% of its area in square meters; a compartment intended to promote photodegradation may have a perimeter in linear meters less than or equal to a quarter of its area in square meters.
- the method 600 comprises, after the step 630 for calculating the area, a step 640 for calculating the perimeter 641 of the compartment.
- the perimeter 641 is calculated by multiplying the area 631 of the compartment by the area perimeter ratio 632 of the compartment.
- the method 600 can calculate dimensions of a compartment of an artificial wetland according to the invention to ensure that a given reaction is favored, and a target yield will be obtained.
- the 600 method offers some latitude to determine the dimensions and shape of the compartment, in order to adapt to other constraints or objectives, such as the available land, or the insertion of the artificial wetland into the landscape.
- step 630 of calculating the area may include a substep of selecting an average height 622 to obtain a larger surface area. or less important, in order to adapt to the land surface available for the compartment.
- step 630 can consist of calculating, from a range of possible average heights, and volume 621 of the compartment, a minimum area of compartment, and a maximum area of the compartment, then select the most suitable surface 631 according to criteria such as the land area available.
- the average height 622 of the compartment can then be deduced directly from the surface 631 of the compartment and the volume 621 of the compartment. It is also possible to systematically choose the maximum height from a range of possible heights, in order to have the area 631 of the compartment as small as possible, and limit the footprint of the compartment.
- the different average heights 622 are associated with different yields of the reaction. These yields can be obtained for different heights, for example by means of relationships determined experimentally between the efficiency of the reaction in function and the average height of the compartment, for example abacuses indicating the effectiveness of the reaction in function the average height of the compartment. These charts, or generally the relationship between average height 622 and reaction yield can be determined from laboratory reaction tests. Step 630 may then consist, in a first step, in selecting the height corresponding to the efficiency of the reaction. Once the area 631 of the compartment is determined, a number of constraints or secondary objectives can be validated.
- the method 600 may include a check that the surface 631 of the compartment is small enough to adapt to the available land, allows a good landscape integration, etc. Numerous criteria relating to the integration of the compartment in its environment can to be taken into account at this stage. If one or more of these criteria is not fulfilled, the method 600 may include a return to step 630 for calculating the area, with the selection of a new average height 622 making it possible to hold the criterion or criteria relating to the integration of the compartment in its environment, maintaining a return as good as possible. Several iterations can be carried out, making it possible to ensure that the integration criteria of the compartment in its environment are taken into account, while promoting a purification efficiency as high as possible.
- the perimeter calculation step 640 may include selecting a perimeter / area ratio 632 from a range of possible ratios, in order to have a longer or longer compartment.
- the shape of the compartment can also be determined, in order to adapt to the available land, and / or to favor the integration in a landscape, and / or to facilitate the maintenance of the artificial wetland.
- a compartment having a high 632 perimeter ratio (and therefore a very elongated shape) may be arranged in length, but also by meandering to limit the footprint of the compartment. This is the case, for example, of the compartment 21 1 shown in FIG. 3.
- the compartments may also be arranged relative to each other in order to obtain an artificial humid zone as compact as possible, such as represented in FIG.
- perimeter / area ratios 632 are associated with different reaction efficiencies. These yields can be obtained for the different perimeter / area ratios, for example by means of relationships determined experimentally between the reaction efficiency and the perimeter / area ratio of the compartment, for example abacuses indicating the efficiency of the reaction. function of the ratio perimeter / area of the compartment. These charts, or generally the relationship between the perimeter / area ratio 632 and the reaction yield can be determined from laboratory reaction tests. Step 640 can then consist, initially, in selecting the perimeter / area ratio corresponding to an optimum yield of the reaction. Once the perimeter 641 of the compartment is determined, a number of constraints or secondary objectives can be validated.
- the method 600 can include a verification that the perimeter 641 of the compartment makes it possible to adapt to the available land, allows a good landscape integration, etc. Numerous criteria relating to the integration of the compartment in its environment can be taken at this stage. If one or more of these criteria is not fulfilled, the method 600 may include a return to step 640 for calculating the perimeter, with the selection of a new average height 622 making it possible to hold the criterion or criteria relating to the integration of the compartment into its environment. Several iterations can be performed, making it possible to ensure that the integration criteria of the compartment in its environment are taken into account, while favoring a purification efficiency as high as possible.
- the method 600 may also comprise a return to the step 630 for calculating the area, in order to select an average height 622 that makes it possible to calculate a surface 631, and a 641 perimeter of the compartment adapted to the integration of the compartment in its environment.
- the method 600 thus makes it possible to determine the dimensions of compartments of an artificial wetland according to the invention making it possible to favor the desired reactions, and to obtain a target efficiency of the purification.
