Summary
In 2015, Novotel in Antwerp-North opted for purification of all their wastewater by means of a phytoair (aerated helophyte filter). This 250m2 system purifies the wastewater from 120 hotel rooms and the restaurant. Extra attention was paid to energy consumption: the air blowers are automatically switched on for a shorter time when there are fewer guests in the hotel.
Helophyte filters or reed beds are ecological water treatment systems that are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for a wide range of wastewater problems. Although the reed beds became known for their application as local treatment in remote homes, the systems are also increasingly used for the treatment of industrial wastewater and in the agricultural sector.
ADVANTAGES:
- Low energy consumption
- Efficient and robust treatment
- Minimum maintenance requirement
- Long service life
