What is Biofiltration Water Treatment?
Biofiltration water treatment is the process of cleansing storm or waste water of harmful pollutants and organic matter by running the water through a system of plants, soils and microbes. This natural filtration environment filters out and absorbs components that would otherwise pollute the local ecosystem. Biofiltration is an innovative technology, and scientists are continuing to research more effective and efficient uses of bacteria to help improve the process. This includes artificial fixation of biofiltration materials, like bacteria and other microbes, on an artificial surface, like a polymeric screen.
