The invention relates to the water purification sector; it refers to a phytodepuration module and to a plant including this module. The objective is decontamination and recovery of drinking water from contaminated springs and wells, thermal, rainwater, wastewater and industrial wastewater. Phytodepuration tanks are known which use ferns to decontaminate water, but have the limits of requiring large surfaces and / or long treatment times. This invention provides a modular structure developed vertically, made by a plurality of mutually connected tanks suitable for plants and containing the water to be treated. Vertical hydroponics plants are known, but for purposes other than phytodepuration. One purpose of the invention is to optimize drinking water dearsenification, using such systems for the cultivation of the P. vittata ferns, maximizing the number of plants and reducing the occupied area.
1) Eco-sustainable solution (Nature Based Solution);
2) Reduction of decontamination costs by 50% compared to current technologies;
3) Reduction of CO2 emissions;
4) Reduction of chemical waste;
5) Can be combine with filter systems;
6) Urban and peri-urban environment Improve.
