treatment wetlands and winery wastewater

Hi, here my last project design and realization by ArtecAmbiente (www.artecambiente.it). A treatment wetland for the treatment of winery wastewaters. This was made last week in Puglia, a region in the South of Italy where the red wines are sooooo gooooooooood.
This kind of "pollution" is really particular: high cod, high bod5, low pH, high volume in short time,...
TWs is the right choice also in this situation!!
Here below some photos of the realization!  .... next week they start the harvester of the grapes and the TW is ready to get the process waters!!! Yeahhh!! NO MORE POLLUTION!!!
