“…The optimum temperature range for earthworm (Eisenia fetida) is 25e27 C in which the organisms show best activity, growth, and reproduction. However, slightly higher temperature positively influences pathogen removal efficacy of MEEs (Jiang et al, 2016;Sinha et al, 2012).…”

“…Earthworm-based solutions such as vermifiltration, 'microbial-earthworm ecofiltration' and 'Tiger toilets' have previously been shown to be effective in wastewater treatment applications, with earthworms consuming organic matter and reducing sludge accumulation rates. Earthworm activity within surface layers also helps to maintain percolation and aeration within biological filtration systems [6][7][8][9]. These principles are applied within the Lumbrifilter.…”

This paper explores the experiences of partners in the multi-national, EU-funded INNOQUA project, who have developed and are currently demonstrating the potential for novel nature-based, decentralised wastewater treatment solutions in ten different countries. Four solutions are under investigation, each at different Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs): Lumbrifilter; Daphniafilter; Bio-Solar Purification unit; UV disinfection unit. An overview of the solutions is provided, along within data from pilot sites. The project is currently entering an intensive demonstration phase, during which sites will be open for visits and act as the focus for training and dissemination activities on sustainable wastewater treatment. Barriers to market for nature-based solutions are also explored.
