Claripur
CLARIPUR is a combination of a clarifier and a planted filter.
The aim is to separate the purified water from the mass of micro-organisms that develops during the first stage of reed bed filtering.
After clarification, the water overflows onto a reed bed filter which serves to trap any loose pieces before discharging the water into the natural environment.
