VII SIF TECHNOLOGY PRESENTATION The SIF is an International Patented Biotechnology based on the combination of phytodepuration in pluriculture and conventional technology of depuration. Phytodepuration is carried on in a basin - natural, artificial or mixed - divided into functional sections, each one being substantially marked by the culture of sevreal species of plants (seasonal or evergreen). The operative characteristics of the process allow a simplification of the system’s planning and management; the resulting costs are reduced in comparison with conventional technologies of depuration. GENERAL DESCRIPTION This biotechnology has for object an integrated process for wastewater depuration based on the combination of phytodepuration in pluriculture and conventional technologies of depuration. Chosen plants are principally autochthonous rooted species; in particular, it is a biotechnology consisting in the combination of the following operative phases (flow - sheet)

LAND RECLAMATION AND REINSTATEMENT OF THE NATURAL BIODIVERSITY
IN A DEGRADATED AREA NEAR PO RIVER This project concernes an area known as Mezzano, which borders the Po River and theValley of Comacchio in the Province of Ferrara, Emilia Romagna, Italy. The project aims are: (i) To recover and improve the pre-existent biodiversity conditions of the area with the realization of a constructed wetland , (ii) Reduction of organic and inorganic loads presents in the water of River Po (iii) Biomass production for industial uses : paper, etc.(iv)Protection and reproduction of tench and local species of fishes (v) Creation of a Natural Park for children recreation and didactical purposes. The constructed wetland is divided in two modules (or sub-areas) with a total extension of 40 hectares, the two modules are separated by a central channel. Each module has its own use: - The first is assigned to the biomass production and the restoration of the local fish fauna. - The second to naturalistic uses, recreation and didactical purposes. The Inlet flow is 1 - 3 m3 / sec. and the organic load is 280 - 850 Kg / h in COD. A pump system has been installed to recirculate and improve water quality. This project won the ” International Prize Carnia Alpe Verde" - Edition 1995. The aerial picture shows the whole area of the contructed wetland .
Land Reclamation Marposs Company
PRIVATE COMPANY - MARPOSS Spa Marposs Spa is a private company with 1,000 workers and located in Province of Bologna, Italy. In 1990 the Industry Management decides to renew the activated sludges wastewaters treatment plant, builted in1975, utilizing the ISP. The ISP application allowed: (i) to increase the plant potenziality so to respect the current law limits, (ii) to reduce the activated sludge production and consequentially the management costs, (iii) to recover and reuse treated waters to irrigate its own gardens. Main technical datas
Sewage flow : 200 mc/d Daily organic load (COD) : 130 Kg /d Besides, the area chosen for the plant construction, has been "enriched" obtaining a "garden" with flowers and a fish-pond. From 1990 the effluent discharged has been utilzed to irrigate the industry inner meadows. The picture shows the Lagoon

THE SILE RIVER PROJECT
In 1995 European Community classified the Sile River natural resource for drinking water and the Italian Gouvernment declarated the same one a Natural Park: NATURAL PARK OF THE SILE RIVER To preserve the river water quality the Park Management decided to treat all the civil wastewaters discharged in the river; with this aim was developped the : SILE RIVER RECOVERY PROJECT The project deals with the construction of eighteen plants for civil sewages applied on equivalent number of municipalities, for a total of 85,000 inhabitants and using only one biotechnology: the Integrated System of Phytodepuration. The project has been planned in 1996, financed in 1997 and today there are some plants realized and others in construction. Financing Board: Italian Ministry of Environment Founds manager: Natural Park of Sile river. The project was mentioned " one of 100 greenest projects in Europe” by the International Prize - Carnia Alpe Verde, Edition 1997.
Sile River Project Town of Porto Recanati
TOWN OF PORTO RECANATI Porto Recanati is a seaside town on the Adriatic sea in the Province of Ancona, Italy, with a population of 20,000 inhabitants. The municipality treatment plant (built in 1985): (i) lacked of a tertiary treatment stage to reduce the high inorganic load present in the treated waters and (ii) had efficiency problems in the summer period caused by the touristics presences. For these reasons the Municipal Administration decided to employ the ISP as tertiary stage treatment. The original design foresees the realization of two individual phytodepuration basins, each one with a capacity for 10,000 inhabitants, to achieve a total of 20,000. The first one was built and started working in 2000; the other will be built in 2003. Today all treated waters from the first phytodepuration basins (3.200 mc/d) are reclaimed and reused for irrigation and there is a project to use these ones for fish production. Main technical datas of a single phytodepuration basin
