Our advanced aquatextiles bring a transformative approach to stormwater management, offering high-performance, sustainable treatment to significantly reduce hydrocarbon pollution at the source. OSMORIA solutions seamlessly integrate into all infiltration-based stormwater management systems, enhancing water quality as it infiltrates into the ground.

Infiltrating clean water is essential
When rain falls, it collects pollutants as it encounters surfaces used by vehicles, heavy trucks, and maintenance or construction machinery. To mitigate the impact of human activities on the environment, it is crucial to treat polluted stormwater before it enters the soil and groundwater.
The goal is to remove pollutants from these waters to minimize the economic costs of soil decontamination, protect biodiversity, and reduce the risks to human health.

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).
A residual hydrocarbon content in infiltrated water below 1 mg/l
