TAYA technology replaces heavy electro-mechanical wastewater treatment systems, by attainting the same effluent quality at a significantly lower cost. The TAYA model calculates pollutant loads, oxygen transfer quantities, retention times and sludge yield (just like activated sludge). The design of the wetland incorporates the filling and draining of subsurface flow basins. The fluids are pumped from one side to the other using a proprietary pumping arrangement, maintaining the lowest energy consumption possible. This unique arrangement is highly efficient to operate and eliminates the need for sludge handling.
