Water Treatment Solutions

Floc Mat®

Floc Mat offers a fully biodegradable water treatment solution reacting with and capturing silts and sediments. On their own or as part of a larger treatment, Floc Mats can be used to clean muddy water and prevent silt pollution.

Designed and manufactured by us, our unique and environmental-friendly Floc Mat® provides a safe, cheap and easy solution to support the removal of pollutants from the water.

Placed in ditches and channels, as water moves over and through the biodegradable mat fibres they capture and trap silt, clay and other fine sediment naturally. The mats also provide a low-carbon, cost-effective way of treating water without the need for pumps, saving energy and carbon.

Floc Mat comes in untreated or treated forms, with treated versions having a highly effective, non-toxic flocculant impregnated into the natural fibres to aid silt binding performance.

Unique to Frog Environmental, Floc Mats® are commonly used in a variety of ways:

  • Construction & infrastructure site treatment ditches and channels with low flows
  • Drainage from construction sites
  • River restoration and maintenance operations
  • Agricultural and forestry operations
  • With attenuation ponds and lagoons to improve settlement
  • For Infiltration fields to increase a field’s settlement capacity
  • Forestry and agricultural operations
  • Within Silt Capture Channels. As part of a larger, more comprehensive treatment solution.

It’s good to see Frog getting involved with GT at the earliest stages of the project to help with planning out water management in advance of needing it.

“Frog Environmental were knowledgeable, helping to establish a workable, cost-effective and low maintenance solution for site approved by the regulator. They really understood the water management issues we had on site and worked with us to develop a solution which works, as well as engaging with our operatives to ensure that they could effectively manage the system.

We are delighted to have found a solution that prevents pollution and protects the environment, and ultimately allows us to continue with construction.”

The surface water system drainage feature utilised innovative solutions from Frog Environmental.

A rain-ready strategy was implemented, which enabled the development of a robust management system capable of effectively managing fluctuations in weather conditions year-round.

This provided a timely, sustainable and cost saving solution for our client.

They (Frog Environmental) were efficient in providing advice and the most appropriate product for our project. The team responded promptly to ensure the Bubble Curtain was delivered to the site on schedule.

It has worked well and has been great on site. We are demobilising this week, and the bubble curtain is already in store at our next site for reuse!

The Kex Gill road realignment scheme is a challenging project with multiple environmental risks including management of silt and water quality of the surrounding environment given the locality of designated sites.

Frog Environmental are providing us with extensive technical support, including the design, supply and install of their silt control products on site to ensure the project minimises risks to the watercourses in the project vicinity and prevents impact on highly sensitive aquatic species.

It’s great to be working with them and we’re delighted with the success of the whole project.
