This story dates back to one of our earliest commercial systems, which remains in operation to this day. At two neighboring sites with regulatory permits requiring water to be cleaned to stringent standards, we stepped in to address the challenge. We installed several of our SOWBs to effectively filter out iron and aluminum flocs following the oxidation process. This strategic upgrade significantly improved the efficiency and performance of the downstream components of the system. Through our intervention, we successfully transformed what had been a failing and inefficient setup into a robust and fully operational system.
The client successfully met their waste reduction targets, ensuring compliance with regulated concentrations for mining-related impacts. Achieving this through conventional methods would have cost approximately $100,000, but we accomplished it for under $20,000.
EcoIslands LLC of Altoona, PA, USA invented, builds, installs, maintains and studies self organizing wetland bioreactors (sowbs) to clean up coal mines, degrade pathogens related to sewerage, produce sweet methane (no sulfate), and a biogeochemical cycling processors for aerospace. Once you know what a wetland can do, it really opens up a world of possibilities. The main driver of self organization is evidenced by the Winogradsky effect, or the self sorting of microbial environments predicated on the amount of energy released during the metabolism of different metabolic triplets. Or, the more energy in a triplet a metabolism provides, the faster a particular microbe can reproduce, outcompeting other microbes and stabilizing a particular niche. Once one of the triplets is consumed, the advantages shifts to another microbe and on and on.
