he METland approach is an innovative combination of microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) and constructed wetlands (CWs) that can significantly enhance wastewater treatment and pollutant removal. Rather than using gravel, METland employs a biocompatible electroconductive material to encourage the growth and metabolism of electroactive bacteria. By utilizing an electroconductive bed designed in a short-circuit mode, this system can effectively remove pollutants through the microbial metabolism process without requiring an external circuit. Additionally, the METland’s remarkably low land footprint (0.4 m2/pe) sets it apart from traditional CWs, due to the high pollutant removal rate achieved by these microorganisms.
