The Living Machine System utilizes the latest technologies and engineering to mimic the ecology of natural coastal wetlands. The system provides lasting water solutions by effectively treating and reusing wastewater through a series of wetland cells filled with optimized gravel, which promote growth of micro-ecosystems, and a process of tidal cycles, like in a coastal wetland, resulting in a high quality of reusable water.

Process: black water is pumped into a tank where debris settles and degrades then water flows into an equalization tank which determines the release of high and low “tides” into specially engineered gravel, sand, and plant boxes (wetland cells) following this, different tidal wave cells with different organisms eat and purify the black water in order to remove an microscopic sediment, the water is screened and treated with ultraviolet light for some municipal building, the water is lightly chlorinated to meet city standards.
