Full Description
Wastewater Treatment Systems based on Vascular Plantsa Green Technology outlines plant-based wastewater-based systems and explains what makes these systems very special over the traditional systems in the context of global warming control and wastewater rejuvenation. Explaining and comparing all available processes and technologies, the book provides numerous real-life examples from various parts of the world where these systems are already in use. It starts with an overview of the currently available systems, explains the advantages of using plants and their mechanisms of action and demonstrates how these technologies reduce the cost of wastewater treatment, especially reducing the inputs of energy and chemicals, and its direct link to the halting of global warming and other forms of ecodegradation.
