The AQUA Wetland System

“A constructed wetland for treatment of high strength winery waste water”

The AQUA Wetland System or AWS was approved in 2012 by the Region of Niagara where the flow rates are less than 10,000 L/ day. Approval is for pre treatment of high strength winery wash water prior to discharge into a Class 4 septic system. In Ontario properties on which the daily sewage flows exceeds 10,000 L/day must receive approval through the Ministry of Environment. The AWS has also received approvals through this ministry for use at wineries.

This proprietary sub-surface, vertical flow constructed wetland consists of sand & gravel beds planted with moisture tolerant plant species. Water is pumped vertically from cell to cell. There is no open or standing water and the system is designed to operate winter and summer. Treatment of wastewater occurs through physical filtration & biological degradation. Plants shade & insulate the cells, preventing algae growth.

We provide turn key systems, including design, permitting & installation in collaboration with Rivercourt Engineering (www.rivercourt.ca; info@rivercourt.ca).
