Alabama Farm Design

This proposed on-farm demonstration to treat high-strength swine wastewater from an anaerobic lagoon relates to an innovative and economical wastewater treatment technology referred to as reciprocating constructed wetlands. Scientists, at the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Environmental Research Center, developed and refined the technology over a six-year period beginning in 1993. The reciprocating technology was patented in January of 1999, and subsequently two technology licenses have been issued by TVA to users and vendors of the technology.
