TREATMENT OF NURSERY LEACHATES BY COMBINING SLOW SAND FILTRATION AND HORIZONTAL SUBSURFACE-FLOW CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS |
|
|
HORTCLEANLEACH is the name of the home horticulture application of the Cleanleach system developed by Buresinnova and IRTA. A small scale wetland placed next to a wooden container cleans the nitrates of the leachates from the crop. The natural process already tested in nurseries can be also used in home production. The project was selected for the Catalonia Ecodesign Awards promoted by the Catalan Government. Event’s aim is to foster a sustainable approach to the production systems. Winners will be revealed during the awards ceremony on October 29th.
