Phytodepuration is an environmentally sustainable and efficient solution for wastewater treatment. This system uses the natural action of plants and microorganisms to remove pollutants in the water, transforming them into substances that are not harmful to the environment.
The phytodepuration process is based on the use of soil basins, in which plant species are planted that can absorb nutrients and pollutants in the water, such as nitrates and phosphates. The micro-organisms in the soil and plant roots, on the other hand, take care of decomposing organic materials and eliminating pathogenic bacteria.
This system is particularly suitable for the treatment of domestic and urban wastewater, but can also be used for wastewater from agricultural and livestock activities. In addition, phytodepuration can also be used for the recovery of rainwater, which can be reused for the irrigation of gardens and green areas.
In order to guarantee the effectiveness of the phytodepuration process, it is essential to choose plants that are best suited to the climatic and environmental conditions of the place where the basin is to be created. In general, the plant species used for phyto-purification must be able to tolerate high concentrations of nutrients and pollutants, as well as withstand climatic variations and the presence of wild animals.
To ensure the impermeability of the basin, a reinforced polyethylene geomembrane must be used to prevent water from seeping into the surrounding soil.
Application of Cover UP geomembranes
Cover Up's polyethylene geomembranes represent a high quality and reliable solution for the construction of phytoremediation basins. In fact, these geomembranes are manufactured from high quality materials and are available in different sizes and thicknesses to meet the needs of any wetland project.
Cover Up geomembranes are supplied pre-welded, which reduces installation time and costs. Thanks to their high resistance to UV radiation and high temperatures, these geomembranes guarantee a long service life and effective protection against chemical and biological degradation.
In conclusion, phytodepuration is an effective and sustainable solution for wastewater treatment.
In order to guarantee the impermeability of phytoremediation basins, it is essential to use high quality geomembranes such as those in the Cover Up series, which guarantee effective protection against seepage and a long service life. Contact us to find out more about our products.
