A 10 years old CW multistage system (5 stages: Imhoff+HF+VF+HF+FWS) treating the municipal wastewater for a town of 3500 inhabitants.

The Orhei Constructed Wetland treatment plant, the biggest secondary treatment entirely based on CWs in the world

20 years old French system serving 200 p.e. in the Lyon area

Saint Germain sur Ille : a 500 PE waste stabilization pond boosted to 900 PE by addition of reed bed filters with high standards for phosphorus and total nitrogen removal.

Vertical flow reed bed filter (French system) followed by a trickling filter and a treatment with apatite treat the pollution of raw domestic sewage. Capacity : 1500 p.e. Vegetated effluent discharge area before final reject into the small river "Merderic".

Saint Bonnet le Froid : a 900 m², vertical flow reed bed (French system) plus a 600 m² second stage unsaturated vertical flow red bed for the treatment of  domestic effluent from a village with variable population.

Hollange : a 432 m², vertical flow reed bed (French system) plus a 288 m² second stage unsaturated vertical flow filter, and a 1200 m² vegetated polishing zone treating 102 m3/d of domestic effluent.

Vertical flow constructed wetland treating the sanitary wastewater from the border control office at Kallo (Antwerp, Belgium)

One stage of reed beds fed with raw sewage assures primary and secondary treatment for 1200 People Equivalent, followed by a trickling filter for polishing and nitrification. A tertiary UV treatment enables a pathogens removal by 4 U log.

Castelluccio is one of the best hotspot of Central Italy, with its spellbound village and the great plateaus at 1400 m a.s.l. in the Sibillini mountain park. The new Constructed Wetland will treat the wastewater of Castelluccio village and tourism facilities, that progressively shift from less than 50 persons during winter up to 1000 or more persons during summer. The current treatment plant is inadequate to support this great variation. The new multistage CW system is constituted by a French scheme system of 1800 m2 followed by two parallel free water-pond system as polishing stage and recreational amenity (the pond will hold several rare aquatic plants typical of the Castelluccio plateau).
