In September 2016, we installed an aerated reed bed at De Moerenaar cheese factory in Veurne. The system treats the wastewater from the dairy farm and from the cheese factory. You can read more about it in this article.
An aerated reed bed was constructed at two hotels in 2016. The project at Novotel Antwerp was later awarded the Green Destinations Award. Further attention for the project at the Corsendonk hotel in Oud-Turnhout.
Rietland created this reed bed in December 2014 for the AquaReuse project. Waste water from a number of greenhouse horticulture companies is purified here and recycled as irrigation water for the crops.
