The Findhorn Foundation Eco-Restorer
This Eco-Restorer is designed to treat a maximum of 65 m3/day to tertiary standards in an aesthetically pleasing greenhouse. It operates both as a waste water treatment plant, and as a visitor attraction within the ecovillage project at Findhorn.
Half of the funding for the project was provided by the European Regional Development Fund, under the Highlands and Islands Objective 1 Programme (1994-1999). Funds have also been provided in grants and donations from Gaia Villages Trust, Denmark; The Paul Trust, Glasgow; The Lyndhurst Settlement, London

The Earth Centre Eco-Restorer
A Living Machine was commissioned at the Earth Centre, Doncaster, UK in May 1998. A Millennium Commission Funded project, the Earth Centre is a 350 acre environmental theme park located in northern England. The site is designed to minimise water usage by for example using vacuum flush lavatories, and a wetland system collecting rainwater run-off for irrigation.
The System is designed to treat 17 m3/day of high strength waste to tertiary standards. It is sited in a greenhouse/visitor centre designed by Alsop and Stormer, which is one of the site's main visitor attractions.

The Body Shop Eco-Restorer at Littlehampton
The Body Shop International manufactures a wide range of cosmetics and toiletry products at its headquarters in southern England. In 1995 the company set itself an exacting new target for the quality of its trade effluent discharge and commissioned the design of a Living Machine to further process the effluent from the existing treatment facility.
The System treats 25-50m3/day and reduces the influent BOD from 1,760mg/l to 28mg/l.

The National Botanic Garden of Wales
In 1999 a system was completed for this project, treating 48m3 of wastewater per day at the visitor centre on a site which has no mains sewer access, and which contains the largest single span greenhouse in Europe. This system is thus both a site service and part of the visitor interest.
Effluent from the system will be discharged to a 25 acre field of willow trees that will be coppiced and used for fuel in a wood chip boiler on-site.

In 1999 Living Technologies was commissioned to design a new Wastewater Treatment System for the Beddington Zero Emissions Development in South London. Completed in 2002 this system treats 50m3/day of domestic wastewater for on-site re-use.
This project was undertaken in conjunction with Albion Water and the Peabody Trust.
