Nature’s way of helping the environment.

What is a reed bed?

A reed bed is a natural filtration process used in conjunction with a BioDisc or Biotec Treatment Plant to further enhance the quality of effluent migrating into surrounding watercourse.
A reed bed is only required when local water authorities request a better quality of effluent than that discharged from the standard unit.

Benefits

• Tertiary treatment for new applications with tight discharge consents.
• Satisfies new building regulations.
• Improved effluent quality for existing works.
• Very low maintenance.
• Aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly.
• Easy to install.
• Takes advantage of the heightened 'environmental awareness' in the U.K.
• Significantly improves discharge from a treatment plant.
• Additional running costs only when a pump is required.

Design

• Pre-fabricated to take out the guess work
• Modular system comprising of individual beds:
    6 Population = 2 beds
    12 Population = 4 beds
• One piece GRP moulding installed flush to the ground.
• Reeds and GRP beds supplied. Washed pea gravel, 'growing' media by others (not included).
• Provides rooting zone depth of 600mm
  (required by Phragmites Australis).
• Modules designed with a hydraulic gradient across the length of the units.
• Adjustable outlet weir allows water level control.
