For more than a decade, Living Machine® systems have been designed as Advanced Ecologically Engineered Systems using a “natural systems” approach to treat wastewater to advanced treatment standards. Living Machine systems are designed to take advantage of natural waste treatment ecology using microorganisms, biofilms and plants. These are combined into an aesthetically attractive system that provides the “look and feel” desired by the client.
Every Living Machine system has three design criteria:
Worrell Water Technologies (WWT), the proprietary owner of Living Machine systems, designs ecologically engineered natural wastewater treatment and reclamation systems for a broad spectrum of uses. Our Living Machine systems have successfully treated wastewater for communities, institutions, resorts and industrial facilities throughout the United States and eight countries abroad. Living Machine systems range in size from 500 to 200,000 gallons per day.
Through years of research and development, Living Machine treatment technologies have evolved from our signature hydroponics‑based systems to advanced “fourth generation” treatment wetlands. WWT’s latest generation Living Machine systems have no exposed water surfaces and do not require residual sludge removal. Living Machine systems have coupled recent advances in wetland and aquatic ecology with the latest engineering science to create an advanced ecological treatment process that significantly increases the reliability, efficiency, and aesthetics of the activated sludge process. High quality effluent is suitable for many reuse applications such as site irrigation or toilet flushing. The systems we offer will generally meet tertiary standards (BOD, TSS, and TN) of about 10 mg/l.
