Soil Based Reed Beds (SBRB) The SBRB system has three simple components: • A shallow bed of soil • A suitable plant • Micro-organisms (fungi and bacteria)
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES GELITA Australia initiated field research in order to: • Demonstrate the suitability of vetiver grass for use in the SBRB system to treat nitrogen rich industrial effluent • Use the research findings in order to develop and establish a SBRB system that is capable of purifying GELITA’s wastewater to a satisfactory level and • Develop a SBRB system using vetiver grass suitable for Australia and world wide.
