Floating Treatment Media<\/strong> has proven itself a very efficient, low-cost way to enhance municipal wastewater treatment plants. You can retro-fit it to existing facilities with minimal cost or long-term overheads \u2013 or work the floating constructed treatment wetlands into the design of new facilities with low operational costs.<\/p>

You can use it in any water environment requiring treatment systems. It is remarkably effective in water pollution control, reducing excess nutrients and removing sediment from the water column, improving water quality overall.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Atlan’s Floating Treatment Wetlands are floating modules that support the establishment of wetland vegetation, and thereby allows the creation of a floating wetland environment on top of a permanent waterbody.<\/p>

These artificial wetland systems mimic a wetland’s ability to absorb nutrient loads. The Floating Treatment Wetland becomes a virtually self sustaining system with minimal maintenance requirements.<\/p>

In stormwater applications, floating wetland construction and installation into inlet zones or detention lagoons greatly enhances the urban stormwater cleaning process by removing:<\/p>
