Wastewater Treatment Services
In the context of environmental protection, the company promotes eco-friendly sanitation by lagooning for the purification of domestic wastewater using microphytes or macrophytes. This technique is essentially based on the creation and planting of linked retention ponds, enhanced by “sanitation reeds” with a strong root system to ensure excellent oxygenation. The advantage of this environmentally friendly, low-cost technique, due to the absence of electrical consumption and wear of electromechanical equipment and by definition of maintenance, is that it is integrated harmoniously into the landscape.
Lagooning, compared to other conventional systems, gives value to domestic wastewater through the annual gathering of the plant biomass for composting and fertilization of agricultural land, by creating a shelter for aquatic flora and fauna that is attracted to the lagoons by the abundance of food in the form of animal and vegetable plankton, and by the living environment that it represents throughout the seasons.
The waterproofing of the pools is ensured by the installation of EPDM geo-membrane, which has excellent resistance to UV and ozone aging, puncturing and roots. This ecological membrane is chemically inert and has a reduced impact on the environment.
The company manages all stages from conception to completion in a “turnkey” mode.
Engineering works are subcontracted to local companies under the supervision of an expert from Swiss Water Power International SA.
