This system offers enhanced onsite biological treatment of any sewage or heavily contaminated water, including landfill leachates. The regenerated and purified water is revitalized and can be reused in many ways, for direct reuse or recharging local aquifers, land crop irrigation to hand-washing and bathing in water deprived regions.

REVIVE can provide pathogen and parasite free water, thus creating a local fresh water resource and hence enhanced water security. The solution is completely sludge-free as it is based on a complete natural food chain, from bacteria to protozoa to insects, and also including plants. It builds on multidisciplinary knowledge of the structures and processes which occur in natural aquatic ecosystems. It addresses the needs of water deprived people in any climatic conditions by offering a robust, maintenance-free and simple system for recovering fresh water from their own waste water.
