Biomatrix systems are available in medium and large sizes with different shapes and configurations of  island design.  The Biomatrix unit is physically constructed around a buoyant framework, which supports multiple types of treatment media and complex biological treatment zones. Submerged plant root mass provides the live substrate and functions to provide a living habitat for continual re-inoculation of the water body with beneficial bacteria.

The Form

The systems are designed in sections, which can be configured in attractive natural shapes.  The Biomatrix unit can be designed to blend with the existing waterscape in strategic locations where performance can be optimized.  The system can be configured along the edge of the waterway, or centrally as islands or archipelagos.

High Strength and Low Cost

We have developed a special polyethylene welding system, which enables a durable design and efficient construction, at a fraction of the cost of the comparative traditional electrofused weld. The main system components can be manufactured off-site allowing even large Biomatrix systems to arrive on the construction site by truck with all of the main components ready for assembly and installation.

Floating Structures

The Biomatrix system can incorporate variable levels of buoyancy from 10kg/m2 to over 100 kg/m2. The use of different levels of buoyancy allow areas of walkways, floating bridges, pavilions, boat docking sites or public artworks to be integrated with the treatment system.
