Enhanced Root-zone systems offer the first serious alternative to the conventional biological of tannery effluents. With capital and running costs a fraction of the demanding activated sludge process, the simplicity and elegance of this technology has been demonstrated in both equatorial and temperate regions. With performance and area needs in line with yesterday's intrusive technology, these robust green systems offer a real alternative. There are also other industrial opportunities... The following summary brings together previous publications and presentations including SLTC 2000 (UK), COTANCE Round Table 2000 (Italy), IULTCS Congress 1999 (India) and 2001 (South Africa).
