Eco Machines: Biomimicry in wastewater treatment

I can vouch for John Todd's research. I knew him back in the 70's and was impressed then with the quality of his work. His "Eco Machines" are the outcome of 30 years of research and trial and error experimentation. ~ ronjon

ECO MACHINES, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
 The Eco Machine
Social
responsibility, sustainability, and 'natural capitalism' are becoming
new models for governments and corporations in the 21st century.
Inspired
by ecosystems as old as the earth itself, John Todd Ecological Design,
Inc. offers clients The ECO Machine - a wastewater treatment system
that naturally treats sewage and industrial waste to re-use quality. An
important consideration as fresh water becomes one of the most
important commodities in the new millennium.
John
Todd Ecological Design's ECO Machines bring advanced wastewater
treatment technology, and unsurpassed aesthetic, economic, and
environmental advantages to companies, communities, and resorts both at
home and internationally.
 How does it work?
ECO
Machines accelerate nature's own water purification process. Unlike
chemical-based systems, ECO Machines incorporate helpful bacteria,
fungi, plants, snails, clams, and fish that thrive by breaking down and
digesting organic pollutants, pollutants that normally deprive the
water of oxygen. This clean, simple approach efficiently transforms
high-strength industrial wastewater and sewage into water clean enough
to be recycled for reuse.

 Benefits of An ECO Machine
Offering unsurpassed environmental, technological, and economic advantages:
- Tertiary Treatment - Meets stringent discharge requirements
- Stable Operations - Biologically diverse systems, naturally resistant to 'shock loads'
- Conserve Water - Allows for re-use of treated wastewater for non-potable needs
- Reduce Costs - Minimize sludge disposal, water purchases, sewer surcharges and chemical use
- Economical Operations - Cost less to operate than conventional systems when used to achieve a tertiary level of treatment
- Aesthetically Pleasing - Naturally beautiful, resembling botanical gardens more than wastewater treatment facilities
- Avoid NIMBY Problems - Naturally beautiful, educational, avoids noxious odors
- Custom Designed - Professional Engineers and construction managers build to suit
The
team at John Todd Ecological Design, Inc. is available to build an Eco
Machine system to meet our client's needs. Contact us for more
