Reedbed Filtration together with Chemical Treatments
I have had the great pleasure to develop with Tony Lumb, a number of industrial applications for Reedbeds, where Reedbeds or Chemical Treatment alone do not solve the problems. You can contact Tony through his Company's web pages www.oasisenviro.co.uk I would trust Tony with my money !
When added together, Reedbed Filtration and Chemical Waste Water Treatments make possible the most amazing water quality. Tony knows all there is to know about standard waste water chemistry and industrial chemical treatments.
The Reedbeds can effectively remove the biological components, while the chemical treatment reduces the hard chemistry.
The total price of the additional solution is often still well below normal engineering prices, and they certainly do the job. This inclusion of chemical treatment significantly increases the number of polluted effluents that can be treated effectively, and at low cost.

Reedbed built for customer
After the first year the customer expects to make savings in the order of £18,000 per year, plus a small on going chemical treatment cost. Currently he needs sales of £90,000, to afford the £18,000 to pay for waste disposal. Each year the company will be more profitable.

Reedbed for Meat Packing Company
First built in Springtime How it looks 7 months later in October
Test results for the meat packaging company show
COD Sus Solids
Inflow 2000mg/L 80mg/L
Outflow 285mg/L 10mg/L
Reduction 85.7% 86%
A COD of 285mg/L is stream water quality. Indeed many streams have a COD greater than 285mg/L.

Samples passed through the Mobile Reedbeds provide a 95% reduction. The outflow goes to land covered by trees.
Compost Bed trials filtering NOx fumes from a standard industrial chimney stack, have produced 95% reductions.
Drager Tests showing 100ppm going in to the compost bed, and less than 5ppm coming out. This Company requires only 150m2 Compost bed system. This system would run with low levels of maintenance for perhaps 20 years.
NOx air pollution is a major urban problem. This method of filtration could significantly reduce street level pollution. We no longer need to talk about these problems, we can begin to solve them.
One
of the workers said that if this worked he would "eat hay with a
donkey". We
supplied the hay and donkey, too.
We trialed compost beds at a carpet factory in Bacup, Lancashire. In feeding the ammonia rich air through the compost beds, the factory air was fresh with no fumes, and the surrounding district had clear air, too. Reductions were in the order of 85%, once we finally worked out the dimensions. Unfortunately, the factory was burnt down, leaving only the compost bed standing. This brought a very sad end to a promising project.
A trial compost bed was built for the Lias Clay Company in The Czech Republic. The trial continues, but figures for SO2, and CO2 were almost totally removed. The trial wanted to reduce Carbon monoxide, which was reduced between 30 and 50%.
As you can tell from the hi tech equipment, we combined the acidic liquids from the compost filter, with the alkaline surface water. At a rate of 25% acid and 75% alkaline the flocculation above took place. Additional filtration through a reedbed would further reduce levels of pollutants.

Both of these opportunities took place through working with my good friend Steve Blackburn, from Border Valley in Bradford. Steve knows a lot about industrial engineering. His motto is that "if he can't do it, he knows a man who can". Why not contact him yourself on www.bordervalley.co.uk
