A natural solution for water quality
Every time it rains, roads and car parks release harmful pollutants that flow into our rivers and lakes, often without proper treatment. This runoff issue is twofold: managing water quantity and ensuring water quality. To maintain safe roads, substantial amounts of surface water must be managed, and that water should be cleaned before reaching waterways.

OSMORIA: The advanced aquatextiles range for responsible stormwater management
OSMORIA is a range of high-performing aquatextiles designed specifically for stormwater management applications for roads and parking areas.
Unlike traditional solutions, OSMORIA does not just filter polluting and carcinogenic hydrocarbons from runoff; it actively biodegrades them, offering a natural and maintenance-free approach to water purification and soil protection against pollution.
OSMORIA stimulates natural processes that clean water, creating a lasting solution that protects the environment.

How OSMORIA works
OSMORIA's innovation lies in its ability to trap and biodegrade hydrocarbons (and PAHs) from rainwater infiltration. Its specialized filaments capture these pollutants, preventing them from seeping into the soil.

What sets OSMORIA apart is its built-in biodegradation capability. Infused with naturally occurring nutrients, OSMORIA aquatextiles attract native microorganisms present in the soil. These microorganisms break down hydrocarbons, a process accelerated and sustained by OSMORIA's unique design, ensuring long-lasting biodegradation that surpasses conventional methods.

Proven performance in biodegrading hydrocarbons
OSMORIA Geoclean has undergone rigorous testing by CEREMA, an independent French laboratory known for its high standards. The results are a testament to OSMORIA’s exceptional performance: it has demonstrated a more than 99.9% retention rate for hydrocarbons, with a residual concentration as low as 0.7 mg/l, far exceeding the capabilities of traditional oil-water separators (O/W separator = 5 mg/l).
These figures highlight OSMORIA’s reliability, making it a trusted choice for engineers focused on creating effective Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
