Organica™
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has recently introduced Organica, an environmentally friendly solution to wastewater treatment. Organica technology employs classical activated sludge system and SBR configuration to achieve total nitrogen & phosphorous removal.
Organica is a breakthrough technology transforming the image of wastewater treatment, making the process much more aesthetically pleasing and more environmentally friendly.
Organica plant at Diosjeno, Hungary
Organica technology looks just like a greenhouse, where trees and other plants are planted upon the water. Small microorganisms and other species grow & live amongst the plant-life, which digest and neutralise contaminants in the water, thus, cleaning the water. The plant-life is combined with technology to ensure that the right operating conditions are met and that the plant operates efficiently!
Organica is a great way to showcase your environmental initiatives, where school groups and other educational meetings can be set up to view your greenhouse water treatment plant!

The technology offers communities and corporations around the world a low-cost, effective, and aesthetic method to treat wastewater to the strictest treatment standards.
Seems remarkable? There are over 30 reference sites across Hungary, France, Austria and Poland.

How Organica works?
Organica Technologies use the metabolic processes of living organisms to treat water. A series of aerated reactors, clarifiers, and final polishing units are used. Plants with extensive root systems are placed on a supporting mesh just below water level in the open aerobic reactors.
The roots of these plants dangling into the water provide a healthy habitat for a whole range of organisms, including bacteria, algae, protozoa, zooplankton, snails, clams, and even fish.
As wastewater flows through the various tanks, these organisms extract the wastes in the water and use them as nutrients. The organisms' ability to self-organize and capture solar energy maximizes biological degradation of contaminants.
The ecosystems that develop within Organica Technologies develop a high degree of biodiversity, thus resulting in a very stable and resilient system that can tolerate fluctuations in wastestream content. Following a clarifier to settle floating materials, Ecological Fluidised Beds finish the job by efficiently removing the last fine particles and pathogens.
