| Abstract | Poland, like other parts of Eastern Europe, needs reliable, cost-effective means of water pollution control. The majority of cities lack adequate sewage treatment facilities to meet discharge standards. Since 1992, a waste water treatment process known as the Lemna System, sponsored by the USA-based Lemna Corporation and Poland's Hydro Ltd., is being installed, one city at a time, to solve wastewater problems. This article describes the Lemna System first installed in Poland in the town of Kochcice. It details the design of the system; and the advantages which include cost-effectiveness, simple operation and maintenance, and the fact that it is a natural technology. This versatile technology is now being used in more than 100 projects worldwide. |
