A system for treatment of water

Номер: US20200149262A1
Автор: Bernard Amell, Cory Albers
Принадлежит: Nautilus Ventures Ipco Inc.

Surface water, such as stormwater, is contained in a pond, or other containment having primary semi-isolated treatment areas constructed, or designated therein, which are suitable for establishing ecological communities for treatment of water within the containment. Water for treatment is induced to flow through the semi-isolated areas and the ecological communities therein for treating the water, such as by bio-filtering, breakdown and bioremediation of water-soluble or hydrocarbon-based contaminants and inhibition of the proliferation of waterborne pathogens. The treated water is then discharged from the semi-isolated areas, such as for use downstream. Discharge of the treated water from the primary semi-isolated treatment areas, as well as the use of pump systems, induces the flow of water through the semi-isolated areas and ecological communities therein to effect the treatment. Ecological communities may be established in relatively shallow secondary treatment areas in the containment and the recirculation of water therethrough may further act to treat the water in the containment.
