The wastewater percolates vertically through the peat media to an underdrain, which leads to the wetland. The main treatment processes in the peat filter are physical filtration, bacterial disinfections, adsorption and aerobic microbiological conversions. B PeatlandTM second treatment zone Wetland constructed with a granular, porous media at a sufficient depth to provide generally anaerobic conditions. The wastewater flows horizontally under the surface. The wetland A Superior Performance Protecting Sensitive ZonesThe PeatlandTM treatment system offers a high treatment performance including nitrogen and phosphorus removal, and complete disinfection. Being a passive system, the PeatlandTM is very economical to operate, on top of blending smoothly into the environment.A combination of Peatmoss and Constructed WetlandThe PeatlandTM system offers two treatment zones. First, a peat filter with vertical flow in aerobic condition. Secondly, a subsurface constructed wetland with horizontal flow under facultative condition. The PeatlandTM consists of compacted layers of a special mix of sphagnum peat moss over a layer of granular media. The constructed wetland consists of a layer of selected granular porous media deep enough to create anaerobic conditions, populated with fast-growing native plants showing for a good root system. Primary TreatmentIt usually composed of a septic tank, equipped with one or more effluent filters, providing a minimal hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 36 hours at mean daily flow. Equalization Tank (optionnel)It provides 12 hours HRT for commercial applications, and 8 hours HRT for community applications. Pressurized Flow DividersThey uniformly disperse the wastewater to the distribution pipe network located in the upper part of the peat filter.1234 complements the peat filter by providing additional treatment for most parameters, and reducing total nitrogen through a denitrification process. DischargeEffluent is finally disposed towards an dispersal zone, a watercourse or a ditch*. *Where regulations allow.451 2354 A4 BFirst Nation territory• Golf club• Provincial or state park• Peat Filter Distribution System Constructed Wetland High Performance, Passive and Easy-to-Operate Wastewater Treatment SystemLEED project• Trailer park• School• Residential development• Rest area• Resort• Parameters Raw wastewater Septic tank effluent Typical PeatlandTM effluentBOD5 (mg/L) 200 – 300 150 – 225 < 5TSS (mg/L) 300 – 500 80 – 120 < 5NH4 (mg/L) 20 – 30 20 – 40 < 5Total phosphorus (mg/L) 4 – 8 4 – 8 < 11Nitrite/Nitrate (mg/L) 40 – 60 0 < 102Fecal coliforms (CFU/100 mL) – 1 000 000 < 50Your projects involve:A • commercial or community development within an ecologically sensitive area?A • concern regarding energy consumption?Fe• w or no resource available to ensure operation and maintenance?You are looking for a solution that can:Achieve high treatment performance• Minimize your electrical power consumption• Favor sustainable development• Accommodate existing site configuration• Treatment Performance1.
