ECOCYCLET is the perfect onsite solution to rural wastewater treatment. ECOCYCLETs are closed-loop systems that use innovative technologies, combined with a lined shallow bed of sand, crushed stone and gravel, and specified plantings. Effluent from septic tanks, greywater, composting toilet leachate or urine from separating toilets are re-circulated through the bed. There, naturally occurring micro-organisms convert the chemical constituents of the wastewater into nutrients for plant growth. Capacity design, evaporation, and sublimation ensure effective performance throughout the winter. Installations may be configured to be open, roofed or enclosed in a greenhouse. ECOCYCLETs are customized not only by size, but also by adaptations to accommodate topography and aesthetic preference. They are appropriate for new or retrofit construction, or for replacing existing systems.
