Phytoair purifies wastewater from seasonal workers in Zundert.

Strawberry grower Van Aert provides temporary accommodation for his seasonal workers and six mobile homes. The domestic waste water from this is collected and purified by a Phytoair of 8m x 5m for 50IE. The effluent from the aerated helophyte filter is discharged into the stream.

Below you will find 3 samples of the Phytoair confirming the good results 5, 6 and 18 months after delivery, carried out by a certified laboratory on behalf of the Brabantse Delta Water Board.
