Hotel Relais Certosa - Florence

Constructed Wetlands: Groundwater Treatment Plants (GWT)

Created at: 25 Aug 2016

Description

The “Relais Certosa” hotel is located in Florence, Italy. There were no sewer systems close to the facility, so it was necessary to adopt a local treatment system. Due to the need of reusing effluent water for irrigation, IRIDRA has chosen a full process scheme to treat the wastewater with a horizontal flow constructed wetland system followed by two parallel vertical beds and finally a collecting tank, which turned out to be a very efficient combined process scheme with a very low footprint.<br>The plant, which was constructed in 2003, has been designed and monitored by IRIDRA as an action in the FP5 demonstration project co-financed by the European Community SWAMP ( Sustainable Water Management and Water Purificaton in Tourism Facilities) that started in 2001. The goal of the SWAMP project was to implement efficient and sustainable constructed wetland treatments of wastewater for tourism facilities in isolated places and rural areas with 10 to 1000 person equivalent, enhancing the reuse of treated water and a rationale management of water resource.
