How to purify water with Wood Chip?
All you need is a wood chip bioreactor and be ready to follow established practices to reduce the loss of nutrient.
According to Shaun Morris, a Senior North Coast Local Land Services Officer from Australia:
“Woodchip bioreactors have been used successfully in North America and Queensland to reduce nitrate runoff into sensitive aquatic habitats from intensive horticulture production systems (…) It was positive to see a recent snapshot water quality analysis on two 3ha farms that showed at least a 75% reduction in nitrate concentrations after passing through the reactor.”
What is wood chip bioreactor?
Bioreactors help reduce nitrate excess produced by agriculture and factories. The basic mechanics are quite simple: H2Ois purified when it flows through wood chips (mainly, but also other carbon source materials) before being released to the water. The role of wood chip is to break the nitrate that in other circumstances would be subjected to denitrification process by bacteria.
