The range of bio-engineered ecosoils from Atlantis Water Management use naturally occurring micro-organisms to break down daily urban and industrial pollution, neutralising toxic chemicals.
Accumulation of these contaminates in soils and waterways are a major health and environmental concern. When ecosoils are used in conjunction with Atlantis drainage cells, tanks and channel systems, contaminated waste water percolates through the ecosoil and is converted into environmentally neutral, usable water.
Other features of ecosoils from Atlantis:
- Ecosoils convert common contaminates that are carcinogenic to humans, such as polychlorinated biphenylas, poly aromatic hydrocarbons, organophosphates, coal tars, pesticides and herbicides. Some heavy metals such as arsenic, chromium and selenium can also be biologically degraded by Atlantis ecosoils.
- The specialised organic materials blended into Atlantis ecosoils can also efficiently treat other pollutants, such as nitrates and phosphorates, which cause algal blooms and other environmental damage in waterways.
- A variety of Atlantis ecosoils are available for typical water purification and management situations including landscape gardens, roadways, railways, wetlands, sporting tracks and fields and leach drains.
- Ecosoils can also be tailored to be effective in situations where specific conditions exist.
