Buoyant contact surfaces in waste treatment pond
A wastewater treatment and reclamation system using natural ecological processes consisting of ponds; greenhouse pond cover; pollution-consuming, floating aquatic plants; high-surface-area, submerged, activated bio-web substrates for greatly increasing fixed bacterial film area and activity; aeration co-functioning with the bio-web substrate for accelerating bacterial metabolism and/or solar heat transfer, mixing and aerating the water body; and a polyculture of micro-invertebrates, fish and shellfish providing a balanced food chain for maximum removal and bio-concentration of nutrients and organics from the wastewater.
