WWT Consulting has been working for Scottish Water Solutions on the challenge of producing a low carbon wetland treatment system. The secondary treatment system is designed to meet tight ammonia consents without power and minimal maintenance and operational costs.
Products and construction solutions are being sourced that not only have a low carbon impact but, in many cases, are also fabricated from recycled materials. In addition to minimising the use of concrete (a major source of CO2) in lagoon and revetment construction, we are scrutinizing the other materials we use for carbon and general environmental impact prior to selection and installation.
