Argex Aqua

Water is intrinsically linked to our everyday life. Therefore, it deserves to be managed with the required space and attention. But however essential water is,  it can still cause quite some nuisance from time to time. Because of the years of hardening of the substrate, water received just too little space. And that is a real shame, because the solution was and still is there for the taking.

WATER BUFFER OR INFILTRATION BASIN

WATER BUFFER OR INFILTRATION BASIN

The ideal basic raw material for a water buffer or infiltration basin is a package of expanded clay aggregates, packed in an open or closed geotextile. The open spaces in and between the grains ensure a perfect drainage. Furthermore, Argex grains can be blown by a silo truck over a distance of up to 100 m. So, perfect for a quick and easy placement on sites with limited accessibility and/or drivability.

Argex Aqua SOLUTIONS

Water buffer or infiltration basin

A water buffer or water infiltration basin with Argex grains retains the water and slows down the drain at the same time. A multitude of opportunities opens up when choosing Argex. The benefits of the Argex aqua solutions are mainly due to its hollow cavities: 45% of hollow cavity between pellets and 43% inside the grains. And it doesn’t end there. Our product is also an economical one. Rapid processing with silo trucks, full use of construction pit, flexible design, unlimited lifespan and reusability of the product make Argex the qualitative and most cost-effective solution for you as a contractor or builder.

Biological water filtration or purification

Besides expensive water filters, which also consume a lot of energy, the water of your swimming pond can be purified using Argex aggregates. Our clay grain is a 100% natural product and it’s inert, rot-free and very sustainable. Ideal for biological filtration of a swimming pond or the individual processing of your wastewater.

Phytoparking

Purifying wastewater under a parking space with the Phyto parking lot. The Phyto parking lot is a natural wastewater treatment, based on the technique of aerated reed lands. One parking space (2,50 x 5,00 m) can treat the waste water of 16 people. Wherever parking space is provided, waste water can be purified under each parking spot, which makes connection to the sewerage unnecessary. This can be managed via Rietland, in which Argex is used.

Phyto Air

The Phyto air consists of a basin filled with expanded clay granules (Argex) that is irrigated with wastewater. At the bottom of the basin, aeration pipes bring air into the wastewater and cause mixture in the system. At the end of the basin, the purified waste water is collected through a drain pipe that terminates in an overflow pit. The whole is sealed from the substrate by means of a strong foil.
The Phyto air is ideal for medium-sized projects such as residential areas or groups of homes, business parks, hotels, nursing homes, hospitals, schools and companies. Thanks to the high purification efficiency, the Phyto air system can be scaled up to more than 1000IE.

Advantages of the Phyto air

  • Purifies black and gray household wastewater and various types of industrial wastewater
  • Low annual costs due to no sludge removal, low energy consumption and only 1 maintenance per year
  • Very fast start-up: the discharge requirements are already met after two weeks
  • Suitable for varying loads and peak discharges
