    Sustainable design of stormwater runoff treatment systems for small airports
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-06-16) Güneş, Kemal
    Airports designated with special status; where, rather than passenger and cargo transportation; pilot, parachute, model plane and glider trainings are conducted mostly, have important functions in Turkey. They are much smaller than other commercial airports in terms of the space they occupy and the aircrafts that use the same. Nevertheless, wastewater is produced due to runways and other impervious surfaces, though much less than large airports. Therefore, in terms of waste management, it is important to eliminate wastewater that originates from these areas and to include them in waste management plans besides other pollutants. This is even more important especially in small airports that are located on drinking water basins. In this study, exemplary effective and low cost treatment systems, which are easy to construct and manage and intended to treat pollutants which may be carried by stormwater runoff from asphalt and other impervious surfaces of small airports are discussed. According to a research conducted under meteorological conditions of Istanbul, BOD₅ and heavy metal removals are taken as basis in these exemplary treatment systems. It has been calculated and recorded that required constructed wetland system area is 397m² based on the estimated removal efficiency of 95% and the lowest average water temperature for Istanbul. On the other hand, preliminary treatment system that consists of filtration and settling pond has a volume of 20 m³ and has the capacity to discharge into a further treatment system following the preliminary treatment depending on the conditions.
