Technology Description: Professor Cohen and colleagues have developed a graywater treatment system to recycle water that presents a number of advantages over currently available systems. It allows water to be re-circulated continuously at a higher flow rate than current systems without flooding while still providing an aerobic environment in the “soil” layer. Several novel components including the vegetation support and plumbing are designed to be easily removed facilitating ease of maintenance and repair. In addition a number of features prevents clogging in the system. This system has the potential to be low in capital and operational costs low in maintenance easy to operate reliable and integrated astatically within natural surroundings. A prototype has already been built and operated successfully in the field. Applications: Wastewater treatment plant
