Natural wastewater purification based on Plants
Compliant with Table 3 Annex 5 D.L.152/06 discharge after sizing
Features and operating principle
Foreword: Phyto-purification allows for the purification of organic-origin water by harnessing the ability of certain plants to absorb a large quantity of pollutants (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) and fix heavy metals (pollutants from industrial discharges) for their growth. These phyto-purification plants, thanks to their roots, can transport oxygen into the filter and provide support to the aerobic bacteria that are essential for nitrification. Horizontal phyto-purification systems consist of soil basins waterproofed with plastic liners, filled with gravel of suitable granulometry, where rooted macrophytes such as: Phragmites Australis, Typha Latifolia, Scirpus Lacustris, Juncus Effusus, Iris Pseudacorus, Carex Acquatilis are planted.

Applications
Horizontal Phyto-purification systems are used to purify point and diffuse pollution sources, including stormwater runoff, domestic wastewater, and agricultural and livestock wastewater.
Phyto-purification systems are also used to treat landfill leachate, industrial wastewater (from paper mills, textile industries, food industries, and wineries).
Fields of Application
Phyto-purification systems for the treatment of wastewater from: Residential buildings, schools, isolated houses, villages, restaurants, hotels, residences, campsites, farmhouses, beach resorts, dairies, cured meat factories, sports centers, agricultural, wine, livestock, and olive oil mill activities, car washes, finishing with zeolite, lagooning, riding stables, racetracks, kennels, renaturalization. Phyto-purification systems as a final finishing step.
