Treatment Wetlands Services

SHARE
Treatment Wetlands are our main area of expertise. Since research began in the 1950′s in Germany, we have developed a keen understanding of the applications and mechanisms behind the treatment capabilities of constructed wetlands. It is now over 30 years since ‘reed beds’ have been used in the UK, and they have come a long way from their soil based origins in the 50s and 60s. Our interest in wetlands began in the early 80s with a collaboration with Birmingham University, where several trial reed beds were constructed at the pig farm in Rugeley for research purposes.

The pig farm has now been converted into a trading estate, the reed beds are still in use and have assisted in the advancement of wetland technology, including the addition of aeration into wetlands for treating high strength effluents.

Constructed wetlands have been installed for the treatment of sewage, surface water contaminated with deicer from airports, sludge drying, hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater, landfill leachates and industrial process waters.
