Unique Look and Feel
Far from being a set of unpleasant concrete structures, the
Organica treatment plants are visually pleasing and
odor-free. Because they enhance their surroundings, the
sustainable designs can be easily located close to the
wastewater source, making water reuse feasible.

The solution is very flexible in terms of size, spanning a wide

range of capacities. Additionally, the solution can easily be
applied to the upgrade market adding capacity and efficiency
to existing treatment facilities.

 ENERGY SAVINGS
The cooperation of complex living systems, small
footprint, proximity to wastewater source all
contribute to siginificant energy savings.
CLEANER WATER
Research is showing that the broader and more
complex ecology is able to break down a wider
range of emerging pollutants of concern such as
medicines and other xenobiotics with higher
efficiency.
