RegioWasser - Nature-based local treatment of municipal wastewater for safe and multifunctional reuse
RegioWasser is developing a nature-based technology for efficient decentralized wastewater recycling for irrigation in order to improve the resilience of urban and rural areas to increasing water scarcity. Components of the innovative system are an aerated constructed wetland with an integrated vegetation layer and an adsorber derived from sewage sludge for the removal of trace substances. The pilot-scale demonstration ensures rapid transfer to regional companies.
