Pilot 4: Skovgaard Gods, Denmark

06 March 2024
Technical details

A constructed wetland has been designed and installed at Skovgaard Gods, Denmark. It’s designed to accommodate up to 60 population equivalent  (PE) during the summer and 1-2 PE during the winter. This fit well with the constructed wetland where grow is most active during the summer period.

Location:

Skovgaard Gods, Denmark

The technology used in the pilot:

Constructed wetlands is a nature-based solution that can mimic natural processes to filter and treat water bodies using plants and microorganisms. This technology is then used to treat wastewater, reducing pollutant and improving water quality in a natural and sustainable way.

About the pilot:

A constructed wetland has been designed and installed at Skovgaard Gods, Denmark. It’s designed to accommodate up to 60 population equivalents (PE) during the summer and 1-2 PE during the winter. This fit well with the constructed wetland where grow is most active during the summer period. Skovsgaard Gods is located in the countryside at Langeland in Denmark. The Gods is located with land surrounding it, providing the opportunity to place the wastewater treatment facility without causing disturbance to the surroundings. The distance to Rudkøbing (the largest town on the island) is 10 km, which has a wastewater treatment plant designed for 20,000 PE. An alternative solution to build a small wastewater treatment plant is to pump the waste water to the main wastewater treatment plant.
