Aqua Biofilter™

Each Aqua Biofilter™ project design and installation is based on client and stakeholder needs, project requirements according to relavent regulations, and key water quality data that guides the project approach.

Project Requirements to take into consideration when thinking of developing an Aqua Biofilter™ installation are:

1) Existing Water Quality Parameters

2) Proposed Water Quality Targets


Aqua Biofilter™ modules are constructed ruggedly, made of long lasting materials, built to last, in any conditions.

3) Specific Pollutant Reductions

4) Site characteristics such as local and regional ecology, aquatic biology, water depth and variation, rainfall and storm events, atmospheric variation, exposure to wind and other site influences, etc.

5) Birdlife and aquatic animals

6) Habitat and other values

Installation costs are variable according to the above factors. Previous projects have ranged from $30 - $120/m2 installed, according to project, site, client and stakeholder requirements. Please contact info@aquabiofilter.com for further information.

Bega Urban Wetlands
Results indicate strong root and shoot growth of Carex, doubling in size over 3 months, from 30cm at plant out to 2.2 metres length in 14 months.

Wagga Wagga Wetlands and Aquaculture Wastewater
Bolboschoenus & Vetiver excellent performers with root growth down to 50cm in just 3 months. Wastewater column high nutrient loads, large volume of salts uptake

Sewerage pond trial
Aqua Biofilter™ plants developed early with root and shoot growth, effectively reduced nutrient levels to prevent algal blooms

Salinity trial
Aqua Biofilter™ trial to extract salt with a Halophyte forage crop, indicates brackish water can be treated.
