OSMORIA is designed for use in roads, parking areas, construction sites where it harnesses natural biodegradation processes to cleanse stormwater. By stimulating biodegradation, OSMORIA reduces pollutants in water runoff without reliance on traditional maintenance, offering an enduring solution for environmental protection. Unlike conventional systems, OSMORIA doesn’t just filter out hydrocarbons; it biodegrades them, delivering a responsible, self-sufficient approach to both water purification and protecting soil against pollution.
Urban areas
Urban areas generate five times more runoff than rural areas due to impermeable surfaces like roads and roofs. This runoff, often polluted, overwhelms sewers and leads to flooding and water pollution. Solutions include nature-based approaches and permeable surfaces to enhance infiltration, recharge aquifers, and reduce urban heat, supported by underground stormwater management and OSMORIA aquatextiles to treat pollutants.
Commercial and industrial areas
Strict stormwater regulations require better management of hydrocarbon runoff from commercial and industrial areas. Solutions like OSMORIA aquatextiles effectively decontaminate stormwater at its source, reducing treatment costs and pollution risks. These systems are vital for logistics, parking, and refueling zones, ensuring groundwater protection and enhancing environmental sustainability in urban spaces.
Construction sites
Construction machinery leaks oil and grease, heavily polluting parking areas with hydrocarbons and PAHs, which can contaminate aquifers and harm biodiversity. Even a small amount of oil can pollute vast water supplies. Installing OSMORIA Geoclean aquatextiles in refueling and parking areas effectively manages pollution and protects groundwater resources.
Transportation
Hydrocarbon pollution from roads, railways, airports, and ports threatens soil, water, and biodiversity. OSMORIA aquatextiles offer a sustainable, maintenance-free solution by treating runoff at the source, removing pollutants from infiltrating rainwater. This economical approach is ideal for managing hydrocarbon-laden runoff in urban areas, transportation networks, and sensitive ecosystems.
Contaminated sites and soils
Polluted soils from hydrocarbons near roads or former industrial sites pose redevelopment challenges. OSMORIA Geoclean aquatextiles isolate and decontaminate these soils through microbial biodegradation, preventing pollution spread and allowing safe, cost-effective reuse. This sustainable approach restores ecosystems, supports waste management, and preserves resources for responsible site reclamation.
