Services
Advanced Wastewater Treatment
Our patented floating media systems provide advanced wastewater treatment through multi-stage biological processes. Using fixed biofilm technology and aerobic conversion, these systems achieve exceptional treatment results with BOD5 and TSS levels under 10 mg/l. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Marine Waste Solutions
Custom-designed marine wastewater systems handle up to 800 gallons/day for floating structures. Approved by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, these compact PVC systems discharge directly into waterways with minimal ecological impact. Ideal for houseboats, fishing lodges, and floating camps.
Eco-Friendly Systems
Our environmentally conscious systems eliminate chemical requirements and reduce maintenance needs. Using gravity flow technology and biodegradable processes, these systems operate with minimal energy consumption while meeting the most stringent effluent emission standards for land and marine applications.
Custom Septic Systems
We design systems for applications ranging from single-family homes to industrial subdivisions. Options include solar-powered operation, denitrification systems, and grease filters. Available in polyethylene or precast concrete tanks with capacities from 200 to 100,000 gallons.
Regulatory Compliance
Our systems meet British Columbia's Ministry of Health standards and Fisheries and Oceans Canada requirements. We provide documentation for permit approvals and ensure compliance with the Sewage System Standard Practice Manual through certified practitioners.
