Dwell has an interesting article, A Look at Living Machine Systems, in which they toured the San Franscisco Public Utilities Building, a LEED Platnium building where a biological waste water treatment system referred to as the "Living Machine" was installed. The video below explains how the living machines works to process waste water into water for irrigation.
Andy,
ReplyDeleteThere are competing companies using this kind of system - John Todd, who was one of the original developers of this system now calls them eco-machines. Be sure to check out his website too: http://toddecological.com/

Worrell Water funded Todd's research for many years and in 1999 bought all the rights to Living Machine and since have invested heavily in R&D. The Living Machine tidal wetland system does not look nor operate the way Todd's Eco-machines do as his systems are based on older designs.
