Floating Treatment Wetlands are the newest advance in the established field of constructed wetlands.

The BioHaven® Floating Treatment Wetland is the “most innovative” constructed wetland technology developed to date.

• Unaffected by fluctuations in water levels• Versatility - simple, passive to active, dynamic• Zero-to-low power consumption• Solar, wind• Small footprint• Deep water applications• Intensified results• Modular – add more as needed• Additional values - habitat, aesthetic, economic• Aggressive aeration capability• Temperature homogenization• De-stratification ability

The Sequestration Pathways

The Sequestration Pathways - upward

Carbon is sequestered in terrestrial plant growth on top of the islands

The Sequestration Pathways - upward

Here you see gas coming off biofilm in a Leviathan runway

The Sequestration Pathways - downward

Carbon is sequestered in organic debris accumulating below the islands

The Sequestration Pathways - inward

Carbon is sequestered in roots and microbes growing within the islands

The Sequestration Pathways – outward – Floating Supermarket effect

Carbon is sequestered in the organisms that benefit from the islands

Reduce Nitrate at a rate of 10,600 mg/(ft2*day)

Reduce Phosphate at a rate of 428 mg/(ft2*day)

Nitrify ammonia at a rate of 770 mg/(ft2*day)

“The aeration system is a coiled tube that forms a disk and air is pumped into the tubes. The small bubbles emitted from the disks aerate the lake and cause an upward draft to mix the lake. This helped but still was not enough.

This spring they installed six 250 foot Floating Islands and it is believed that the combination of aeration, mixing and habitat for zooplankton is what has made a huge difference for managing the algal blooms”.
