When it rains, it pours
Description
Treatment moves up to 99 % of microplastics from the water into the sludge, and 87–94 % of UK sludge goes to farmland. Storms make it worse: the first flush brings the year’s dirtiest water in hours. ICABUS takes solids and plastics out at the inlet, and works better the dirtier the water gets.
