AQUA

Canadian Shield Consultants use the Aqua created wetland technology for effective and efficient wastewater treatment. The Aqua technology has been refined to enhance overall treatment performance and to address traditional problems in colder climates when biological treatment activity slows.

 

Constructed and natural wetlands can be used to clean polluted waters through various physical, chemical and biological processes. These wetlands can remove nutrients, metals and other problematic substances from wastewater prior to discharge into the natural environment. With an Aqua wetland, wastewater is discharged into a vertical flow treatment system, flowing freely through the system at a slow pace that allows the wetland plants to cleanse the wastewater.

 

Applications

• food, brewery and winery processing waste

• greenhouse, specialty crop discharge and runoff

• aquaculture discharge

• stormwater runoff

• golf course

• sanitary sewage

• livestock wastewater

• aggregate and mining washwater and runoff

• landfill leachate

 

 

Benefits

• technology is reliable, proven, and supported by many years of performance monitoring

• it has recieved government approval for installation and operation at many locations

requires very little energy to operate

• insects, ordour and other nuisance problems are not a factor as there is no standing water

the system operates year-round

• the smaller footprint required by the system reduces land costs
