Floating Reed Beds


Floating Reed Beds are a “Soft Engineering” approach to treating effluent. The roots of the wetland plants encourage settlement of solids and provide enhanced treatment of BOD and Ammonia, but they can also be used for the treatment of metals.

Floating reed beds consist of a buoyant tubular framework of welded UV protected Polyethylene. A coir mattress is sandwiched between two layers of plastic mesh in which the reeds are planted. Constructed in 4m² units, the floating reed beds are modular in design and can be created in a variety of permutations to meet any area size or shape requirement.
  
They can be installed on sludge lagoons, storm water storage, ponds, lakes, reservoirs and canals. They are ideal for sludge lagoons to aid the settlement of solids and for the treatment of surface water run off, as the rafts are able to withstand fluctuating water levels caused by storm events.

The eutrophication of our lakes and streams is an environmental problem of general concern. Floating reed beds can help in solving the problem of algal blooms.

They are inexpensive, easily installed, require little maintenance and provide a multifunction low energy solution to effluent treatment.
