Commercial Sewage Treatment Plant

The technology of reed beds or constructed wetlands is a highly efficient and eco-friendly wastewater treatment system that offers a lower cost and carbon footprint compared to traditional methods. By utilizing waste to generate new resources, reed beds play a crucial role in the regeneration of the natural environment cycle. The primary concept involves the filtration and aeration of wastewater through various stages of sand filter basins that are populated with green wetland plants, resulting in the production of treated water. We integrate and apply this eco-friendly wetland principle across our diverse range of wastewater treatment plant designs.

JAL Science: "Sustainable Water Solutions with Reed Bed Technology"

At JAL Science Company, we are committed to developing and implementing sustainable environmental solutions. Our expertise in reed bed technology allows us to provide efficient, eco-friendly wastewater treatment systems tailored to the needs of diverse clients, from residential communities to industrial enterprises.

Reed bed technology is an advanced natural treatment system that uses the inherent purification capabilities of wetland ecosystems. By utilizing reeds (Phragmites australis) and their associated microbial communities, this technology effectively filters and treats wastewater, turning it into a valuable resource.

Our reed bed systems are designed to mimic natural wetland processes, ensuring optimal treatment of wastewater through several stages:

A Jal Science Bio-Reed Reed Bed Technology for wastewater treatment typically uses natural processes involving plants and microbes to treat and purify water. This system mimics natural wetlands, utilizing the root zones of plants and microbial activity to break down contaminants. Here's an overview of how it works:

1. Pre-Treatment

Wastewater enters the reed bed system through controlled inflow. Wastewater is first pre-treated to remove large solids and debris. This can involve a primary settling tank where solids settle to the bottom and are removed.

2. Anaerobic Zones

  • In this Heavy particles settle at base.
  • It involves the removal of suspended solids from the feedstock by allowing them to settle under gravity, thus separating the solid and liquid phases.
  • Effective settling enhances the efficiency of subsequent digestion processes and reduces the risk of system clogging.

3. Anaerobic digestion

  • It is a complex biological process in which microorganisms break down organic materials in the absence of oxygen.
  • The process relies on a consortium of bacteria and archaea, including hydrolytic, acidogenic, acetogenic, and methanogenic microorganisms. Each group plays a specific role in breaking down complex organic compounds into simpler molecules.
  • These can include a wide range of biodegradable materials such as agricultural waste, manure, food waste, industrial effluents, and sewage sludge.

4. Filtration and Plant Absorption

  • As water passes through the filtration system, consisting of layers of soil, sand, and gravel The core of the system consists of reed beds, which are shallow basins filled with gravel or soil and planted with specific reed species (like Phragmites australis). fine particles are trapped, enhancing the removal of contaminants.
  • As water moves through the reeds, soil and roots filter out additional contaminants while microorganisms break down organic matter.
  • The roots of the plants provide a large surface area for microbial biofilms to develop. These microbes are crucial for breaking down organic matter in the wastewater.
  • Plants in the reed bed absorb nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which helps to reduce the nutrient load in the water and prevent eutrophication when the treated water is discharged into natural water bodies.
  • Plants absorb nutrients and pollutants, further purifying the water.

5. Polishing Stage

  • The final treatment stage where the water undergoes additional purification to remove any remaining impurities, ensuring high-quality effluent.
  • Clean Water Output: Treated water exits the system, ready for reuse or safe discharge into the environment.
