Integrated Biofilter System for Wastewater Treatments
The Pennsylvania State University
posted on 01/26/2010
The disclosed invention is an integrated biofilter constructed of inexpensive and locally available materials to decontaminate both gray and black wastewater, allowing these waters to be reused. The system combines a subsurface flow wetland, a living wall, living columns, and a green roof to create a complex of micro habitats for diverse bacteria and plant communities. A novel addition to the concept of a living wall enables materials to be added in layers to promote adsorption of specific pollutants.
