Phyto-remediation technology is a low energy, low maintenance and natural approach to treat domestic sewage. The process is a
clean, economic and eco-friendly method used as an alternative to conventional systems. Phyto-remediation System uses ecological
principles, which simulate the natural processes for treatment of wastewater. It is a live, self-cleaning biological filter. It removes
disease organisms, nutrients, organic loads and a range of other polluting compounds. The breakdown of contaminants and the
treatment of wastewater are achieved by the controlled seepage of the waterborne pollutants through a root-zone of plants. Organic
pollutants are broken down as a food source for the extraordinary variety of microorganisms that are present in the soil and plants.
Other contaminants like heavy metals are fixed in humic acid and cation exchange bonds in the soil or mineral substrate in which
these plants are rooted. The complexity of microbial life forms and the powerful reaction in the Root zone.
