We specialise in soil based reed beds which offer much better treatment capabilities than gravel based systems, and they have the added advantage that they don’t need periodic digging out and replacement like many gravel based constructed wetlands do.

Soil based reed beds are very versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of different pollutants and waste waters. They can be designed to work in different climates and to solve waste water problems of different scales. Our large scale systems for oil fields treat more than 50 million litres of contaminated water every day!

Not only are reed beds an environmentally friendly solution, they can be very cost effective too. Often, they can be designed to be entirely passive systems, operating by gravity with no mechanical or electrical parts. This means operational costs are minimal, and they only require basic horticultural care to ensure they continue to achieve the relevant water quality requirements.
