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 – or work the media into the design of new facilities with low operational costs.<\/p>

You can use it in any water environment requiring treatment. It is remarkably effective in reducing excess nutrients and removing sediment from the water column, improving water quality overall. Floating wetlands also provide additional aesthetic and habitat for wildlife.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Improving Land Value<\/h3>

Floating Treatment Wetlands renew the local community by enhancing waterfront beautification, amenity and water quality programs. Lifting property value and liveability, these green assets protect our waterways. Systems can be retrofit in existing ponds, lakes and streams.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Zero Land Use<\/h3>

Reducing land take compared with constructed wetlands or conventional bioretention, Floating Wetlands occupy smaller site footprints and are designed for placement on open water bodies \u2013 improving land useability, community access and lot yield.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sustainable Waterways<\/h3>

Floating Wetlands mimic natural green ecosystems \u2013 with minimal environmental impacts. They require no power to operate, the manufacturing process is low-energy, and the plants are eco-sourced to harmonise with natural vegetation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Exposed plant roots in the water column create a network of natural, biological stormwater treatment pathways. Providing increased surface area for biofilm growth, these microorganism hotspots drive sedimentation, nitrification, and reduce algal blooms. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\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 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>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
