Applications of Phytoremediation Systems in Groundwater Treatment and Air Purification and Soil Rehabilitation

Groundwater Treatment and Air Purification

Phytoremediation Systems play a significant role in groundwater treatment. In this application, specific plants are used to absorb or break down contaminants in groundwater, reducing the concentrations to acceptable levels. The system relies on the plants root system and associated soil microorganisms to act as biofilters. Several leading companies in the water treatment industry utilize phytoremediation for groundwater treatment, leveraging its organic and sustainable approach to addressing a critical environmental concern.



The role of Phytoremediation Systems in air purification has been gaining recognition in recent years. Certain plants have the capability to absorb contaminants from the air, specifically volatile organic compounds. This is done mainly by the leaves and stems.

Soil Rehabilitation

Phytoremediation Systems have found profound use for soil rehabilitation. This technique makes use of plants to degrade, remove, or immobilize contaminants, especially heavy metals and toxic elements present in soil. The use of hyperaccumulating plant species in Phytoremediation Systems is a common approach. These plants have an ability to tolerate high metal concentrations, which makes them an efficient tool for soil rehabilitation. Several innovative companies have excelled in this region, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly aspects of the process. Their competitive advantage mainly lies in their use of indigenous plant species and successful field application strategies.
