What is a modular wetland unit?
A. The Modular Wetlands® is a multi-stage, storm water treatment system that incorporates screening, sedimentation, filtration, adsorption, and biological remediation for removal of trash, floating and neutrally buoyant debris, suspended sediments, nutrients, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons from the storm water.
How does a modular wetland work?
The Modular Wetlands system has an advanced pretreatment chamber and innovative horizontal flow biofilter, giving it the ability to effectively remove pollutants through a combination of physical, chemical, and biological filtration processes.
What is a biofiltration system?
Biofiltration is a pollution control technique using a bioreactor containing living material to capture and biologically degrade pollutants. Common uses include processing waste water, capturing harmful chemicals or silt from surface runoff, and microbiotic oxidation of contaminants in air.
What is bio scrubber?
Bio scrubbers are used for biological treatment of waste and exhaust gases. The adsorption of organic emission components and of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia are the main application areas. For these purposes, a physical gas scrubber is combined with a biological aeration unit.
What is a biotrickling filter?
A biotrickling filter is a combination of a biofilter and a bioscrubber. The bacteria responsible for decomposition are immobilised on a carrier or filter material. This water also carries away excess sludge/biofilm, as well as decomposition products which may hinder the biomass.
How does a Bioscrubber work?
A bioscrubber consists of a gas scrubber and a biological reactor. The purified scrubbing liquid is circulated to the scrubber, where it is able to reabsorb pollutants. The biologically degradable hydrocarbons are converted into H2O and CO2 in the bioscrubber. The non-degradable hydrocarbons remain in the wash water.
What does a bio filter do?
A biofilter is a biological filter that provides a pond with water that is rich in carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is very important for water plants. They, in turn, keep pond water clear and clean.
What’s a bio filter?
A biological filter is one of the key pieces of equipment in an ecosystem pond. Biological filtration is a general term referring to the process of using beneficial bacteria to clean the water on a molecular level.
