Learn how to use Constructed Floating Wetlands to remove nutrients and clean up water bodies, including dams, ponds, stormwater, effluent ponds and rivers, as a nature-based positive treatment solution, part of a circular economy.

Water and wastewater treatment invariably requires high capital cost for installation, use significant energy and have high ongoing operations and maintenance costs. Constructed Floating Wetlands (CFWs) offer a nature-based water and wastewater treatment option where plants are used and the roots grow into the water body, forming biofilms, and uptake the nutrients, removing up to 50% of phosphorous and nitrogen from the water and improving BOD.

Find out how CFWs can benefit you in treating water and wastewater in dams, rivers, effluent lagoons, lakes and virtually any water body. Features include:

• Modules are manufactured from UV stabilised LDPE lasting up to 50 years and can be recycled at end of life
• They do not break down or release microplastics into the water
• Are stable, buoyant, robust and can be walked on
• Can be fitted with walkways for easy access and handrails for safety
• Help prevent algal growth through nutrient removal
• Can polish effluent to help meet environmental requirements for discharge to the environment
• Be part of a circular economy
• Provide safe habitat for a variety of animals, birds and fish
• Increase carbon sequestration
• Improve water quality in farm dams
• Improve water quality for irrigation from golf course dams
• Easy to install and have low maintenance requirements
• Reduces water temperature under CFW modules
• Can support solar panels for power generation

This webinar is not highly technical and suitable for those that are interested in learning more about alternate water treatment systems.
