Wastewater treatment inspired by wetlands
How would nature clean water? This is the question that John Todd and his team asked when engineering their unique wastewater treatment technology.
John Todd Ecological Design (JTED) is a Massachusetts-based sustainable water management company that designs and integrates natural systems for the treatment of wastewater and the remediation of degraded water bodies. The designs are based on robust ecological systems in nature that effectively cycle nutrients and water. Harnessing biodiversity and natural processes in the Eco-Machine(TM) and Restorer systems allows JTED’s “living machines” to treat the most difficult contaminants and human waste streams, meeting and surpassing regulatory requirements.
