Ponds and constructed wetlands can be designed purposely for water treatment. These ecotechnologies are bioinspired by the ability of natural wetlands to treat various pollutions, via interactions with substrate, plants and especially the associated microorganisms...

Vegetated filters or reed bed are a category of constructed wetlands, as such they display all their benefits. These are wetlands with water flowing through a planted granular substrate. We design and apply the three main categories of vegetated filters, in two...

Developed by Cebedeau (www.cebedeau.be), the FILTRAN® process is a compact vegetated filter for the treatment of organic matter and optimised for the treatment of total nitrogen through nitrification and denitrification. The process combines in one step the advantages...

Phytotreatment processes, inspired by wet meadows and riparian areas, are based on water flowing through plants and / or soil of a dedicated facility. Water treatment results from stem filtration and plant-soil-microorganism interactions at root level and must be...

Mycofiltration involves percolating water through a woody substrate colonized by a lignicolous fungi (wood-degrading fungi). The filtering effect of the dense mycelium network and the release of enzymes can remove organic pollutants, heavy metals and pathogenic...

Reactive substrates are based on water percolation through granular materials-filled beds or trenches, causing chemical modifications (example: phosphate capture). The reactions may also involve microorganisms, the substrate being in that case used as a metabolite...
