I would assume that these methods, based as they are on living ecosystems (which are all about scaling: every species is capable of exponential growth), that these scale well. In any event, you might like this paper: "Ecological design applied" John Todd, Erica J.G. Brown, Erik Wells > The five case studies
presented here represent applications of ecological design in five areas: sewage treatment, the restoration of a polluted body of
water, the treatment of high strength industrial waste in lagoons, the integration of ecological systems with architecture, and an
agriculturally based Eco-Park. Case #1 is an Advanced Ecologically Engineered System (AEES) for the treatment of sewage in
Vermont, a cold climate. The facility treated 300 m 3 per day (79,250 gallons per day) of sewage to advanced or tertiary wastewater
standards, including during the winter months. A number of commercial byproducts were developed as part of the treatment
process. Case #2 involved the treatment of a pond contaminated with 295 m 3 per day (77,930 gallons per day) of toxic leachate
from an adjacent landfill. ... https://ewrel.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/EcologicalD... |
