Escurolles

At Escurolles, in central France (Allier), a reed bed fed with raw sewage assures primary and secondary treatment for 705 PE , followed by a tricking filter for polishing and nitrification

  • Stage 2 surface area (m²): 60
  • Needs:

    Two stage reed bed filters fed with raw sewage have become very popular in France for the treatment of waste water in rural areas.   However, they have a rather large footprint as far as surface area is concerned. In  the case of Escurolles, available surface area was limited, so a more compact solution had to be found

  • Solution:

     The foot print of the plant was reduced in substituting the second stage reed bed though a recirculating trickling filter for polishing and nitrification.

  • Benefits:

    The advantage of r treatment of raw sewage and sludge in a French type reed bed could be maintained while making the system more compact
