Atlan Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTW)
Smarter Water Treatment for Modern Urban Environments
Natural Water Treatment
The Sustainable Way to Improve Water Quality
Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) provide a practical, nature-based solution for improving water quality in lakes, basins, and waterways. Designed to float on the surface, they treat water directly within existing systems making them ideal for urban environments where space is limited and performance expectations are high.
By combining engineered design with natural biological processes, FTWs deliver measurable outcomes while enhancing the visual and ecological value of water assets.
- Installed directly into lakes, basins, and waterways
- No major excavation or land allocation required
- Modular design allows systems to scale over time
- Suitable for both new projects and retrofits
FTW BENEFITS
Delivering more than just water treatment
FTWs are particularly effective in upgrading underperforming water bodies without major redesign.
Water Quality
- Reduces nutrients that drive algal blooms
- Captures sediment and suspended solids
- Supports natural pollutant breakdown
Environmental
- Improves ecosystem health
- Supports biodiversity and habitat creation
Project Value
- Enhances visual appeal of water assets
- Aligns with WSUD and sustainability goals
- Adapts over time with modular expansion
How it works
- Microorganisms break down pollutants
- Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are absorbed
- Suspended solids are captured and settle
- Water clarity improves over time
Applications
FTWs are particularly effective in upgrading underperforming water bodies without major redesign.
- Urban lakes and public waterways
- Stormwater basins and retention ponds
- Rivers and estuarine environments
- Commercial, residential, and industrial sites
Part of a Smarter Stormwater Strategy
Floating Treatment Wetlands are often used alongside other systems such as gross pollutant traps and sedimentation devices. Together, they form a treatment train that improves overall performance and helps meet environmental targets.
Built for Long-Term Performance
As water quality improves, so do the outcomes around it. Water becomes cleaner and clearer, algal growth is reduced, and aquatic environments become healthier. These improvements also enhance the visual appeal of both public and private spaces. Floating Treatment Wetlands deliver lasting value.
ABOUT ATLAN STORMWATER
Founded in 1972, Atlan Stormwater has grown from a small Australian-based business into an international provider of high-performance stormwater solutions. Working with governments, engineers, developers, and contractors, Atlan delivers practical systems that improve how water is managed across urban and industrial environments.
