Industrial wastewater : an extended wastewater treatment system.: En1-17/24-1996E-PDF

Extended wastewater treatment plants employ artificial ecosystems of varying shapes and designs on relatively large terrains to treat effluents. The pilot plant at the Biosphere, an ecowatch centre in the former United States pavilion of Expo 67, is composed of a mosaic of plant communities and operates without benefit of mechanical equipment or major energy support. This technology is a simple, economical and effective way to treat the watewater of small communities in temperate climes, and proved very adaptive to our climate. The project included overseeing the design and construction of a pilot plant and monitoring treatment efficiency.
