The Peat Filter wastewater treatment plant from Bord na Móna Environmental Ltd. is designed to provide effective, cost efficient, low maintenance secondary and/or tertiary wastewater treatment. The modular nature of the system provides maximum design flexibility for secondary and tertiary treatment across a range of applications. The peat media can also be housed in site constructed retaining structures dependant on requirements.
The treatment process is based on simple bio-filtration principles. The bio-fibrous peat media in the system is home to a complex and diverse ecological population. These organisms biologically degrade and assimilate the organic material in the wastewater.
Effluent is dispersed evenly onto the surface of the peat fibre and percolates through the media. Treatment of wastewater within the system is achieved by a combination of unique physical, chemical and biological interactions between the wastewater and the media.
Nutrient removal options are available from Bord na Móna Environmental Ltd. as required.
