The treatment process is based on biological processes occurring in an ecological system combining saturated beds and plantations.
A population of Micro-organisms grows in the roots zone, decomposing the various pollutants into stable compounds.
The benefits of the wetland treatment are:

     ·     The system can provide high quality wastewater;

     ·     The system normally does not require electro-mechanical
           equipment;

     ·     The operational costs are negligible;

     ·     A "green" technology creating a complete ecological system that
           can serve as a tourist site or a research center.

  There are several wetland technologies, capable of treating sewage from different sources:

     ·     Upgrade of wastewater coming from an existing WWTP

     ·     Complete treatment of wastewater from small communities

     ·     Organic industrial wastewater

     ·     Agricultural wastewater

  The Wetlands system is a stable and reliable system that is economic to operate, and gives excellent results if perfectly planned and designed.

  Knowledge and experience are critical factors for ensuring the success of the wetlands project.

  As experience in the handling of this method in Israel is limited, Triple-T has recognized the considerable importance of organizing the support and professional guidance of foreign companies who have gained the necessary and proven experience in this field.

  Triple-T represents in Israel NAWE, North American Wetland Engineering Company, a concern which has gained considerable worldwide experience in the construction and operation of wetlands.

  NAWE has developed a wide range of patented unique methods for implementation in the installations of such basins. Thanks to these methods the treatment processes have been made more efficient so that the area required for the same treated volume may be reduced. These methods also facilitate the treatment of higher loads as well as the integration of the advantages of intensive treatment in the existing extensive treatment in conventional basins.

  The methods developed by the company and their implementation are as follows:

     ·     Aerated Wetland: This system includes the aeration of the
           basin so that a semi-intensive system is attained, and this
           development reduces substantially the installation’s size. This
           system has been installed and operates successfully in the
           treatment of a wide range of wastewater types, including the
           wash from garbage dumps, dairies’ sewage, and similar.

     ·     Recirculating Vertical Flow Wetlands: These systems
           demand only a quarter of the area required by a horizontal flow
           wetland system. The company has applied this system in a large
           number of installations throughout the USA and all over the
           globe for treating sanitary sewage.

     ·     Tidal Flow Wetlands: This method calls for the flooding of the
           wetland with wastewater. Every few hours the liquids are
           emptied out completely from the bed. Emptying out the bed in
           this manner permits the adsorption of oxygen on the bed and its
           subsequent aeration without using electro-mechanical
           equipment. Thanks to this method the area required for the
           wastewater treatment is reduced substantially. This method’s
           advantage may be seen in the generation of the conditions
           required for maintaining nitrification-denitrification processes
           and thereby obtaining high quality effluents.
