�ƶ����� Inc., a key innovator in onsite wastewater treatment, announces the acquisition of RH2O Inc. – a specialist in advanced moving bed biofilm reactor technology (MBBR) – subject to customary closing conditions. This investment amplifies �ƶ�����’s overall tech capacity and market position as a trusted provider of wastewater treatment solutions.�� �ƶ�����, already one of the country’s largest maintenance providers, will service existing RH2O customers moving forward.

�ƶ����� leads the onsite wastewater industry through its proprietary trickle filter technology, which delivers optimal levels of treatment efficiency and service reliability. By incorporating RH2O’s MBBR product line into its offering, �ƶ����� addresses a wider range of wastewater treatment needs, from low concentration influent and small flows to high concentration and high-flow requirements.

RH2O’s technology is proven in the treatment of high-strength wastewater, in particular the removal of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS). For customers, this new technological union will mean more efficacious nutrient removal, including nitrogen and phosphorus, with a minimal environmental footprint.

“This acquisition adds depth and substance to our total offering, while augmenting our objective to lead the North American wastewater treatment solutions market,” said Dan Madon, President and CEO of �ƶ�����. “We’re thrilled to integrate RH2O’s remarkable technology, and we welcome their talented team to our Waterloo operation.”

“A major challenge faced by the onsite wastewater industry is treating high-strength wastewater with the smallest possible eco-footprint, while remaining economical in both upfront capital costs and ongoing maintenance. The RH2O acquisition provides �ƶ����� with new tools that enable our customers do just that – whether with small systems or large, complex operations,” added Mr. Madon.

The post �ƶ����� Expands Technological Portfolio with Acquisition of RH2O appeared first on �ƶ�����.

is excited to announce the acquisition of �ƶ����� Inc., a Canadian-owned and operated company that develops, manufactures, and maintains onsite wastewater treatment systems.

In a time when the well-being of the environment and our natural resources are of utmost importance, biofiltration is an effective and innovative technology that aims to protect our soil and water resources. �ƶ����� has taken this challenge on, providing biofiltration systems with permanent filter mediums.

With the rapid growth of the Canadian population, the need for biofilters is ever increasing, as a growing number of houses are built outside city sewer lines. �ƶ����� is a leader in this growing market, and is only continuing to expand with their innovative products and technology.

�ƶ�����

�ƶ����� Inc. was founded in 1991 with the mission of protecting natural soil and water resources through advanced wastewater treatment solutions. Their technology has proven to be the most reliable system available, with a wide range of applications. The company focuses on advanced nutrient removal, emphasizing heavy phosphorus and nitrogen removal, to ensure clean water is being released back into the environment. Waterloo systems are very easy to install, being assembled prior to shipping, and available in different configurations to make the installation process simple in a variety of geographical locations.

Not only are their systems unmatched, but �ƶ����� continues to be an industry leader in customer service. Waterloo prides itself on their high-touch customer service, allowing their customers quick and easy access to information and assistance. �ƶ����� started in a university setting, and continues this legacy by being one of the top educators for those in the wastewater industry.

Why Waterloo?

What truly sets �ƶ����� apart is the polyurethane medium used in their systems. Developed at the University of Waterloo in the Centre for Groundwater Research by Dr. Craig Jowett, it is the original foam trickling filter medium. It also comes with a 20-year warranty, often lasting the life of the system. “�ƶ�����’s medium stands out because it does not need to be replaced”, explains Brady Straw, Head of Engineering. “Using a passive permanent medium means that the system can last indefinitely without having a costly replacement, making it hard for other companies to compete.”

Another unique feature of �ƶ����� is their Operations & Maintenance (O&M) department. This fast-growing department has 15 years of servicing experience, with over 2000 systems maintained and 10 trucks on the road daily in Ontario. The O&M department ensures that all systems are functioning as designed, not only guaranteeing the longevity of the systems and minimizing costly repairs, but also keeping the environment safe from any leaks. The O&M department truly makes �ƶ����� a one-stop shop for all your biofilter needs.

�ƶ����� is not stopping there but looking to expand the company to continue providing innovative systems and superior service, while dominating the industry and outperforming their competition. Chris Jowett, Head of Technology and Government Relations, echoes this sentiment, saying, “Research and development, continuous improvement, and pioneering new technologies and techniques have always been at the core of who we are, and is what continues to drive us today.”

An Exciting Opportunity

The purchase of �ƶ����� by Birchview Capital will serve to propel the company to new heights. Dan Madon, the new president and owner of �ƶ�����, not only brings with him financial backing by Birchview, but also leadership experience and a growth mentality. With his background as a Chartered Accountant and Managing Director at Cisco, Madon is sure to continue Waterloo’s pattern of growth, and continue to invest in their goal of protecting the environment through modern technologies. Madon brings with him an advisory team, looking to heavily invest back into the market and revitalize the R&D department. �ƶ����� and Madon share ambitious goals for the future, and the sky is truly the limit for what this company is on track to achieve with their revolutionary systems and customer service.

A phosphorus reduction and recovery system aimed at reducing the growth of harmful algal blooms in the Thames River and Lake Erie has been successfully demonstrated.�� A Waterloo EC-P system was tested that mimics the way phosphorus is removed naturally in iron-rich soils through the crystallization of iron-phosphate minerals.�� The containerized system treated up to 40,000 L/day of surface water from the agricultural runoff of 340 acres of farmed land and includes a process to allow for the recovery and re-use of captured phosphorus as a fertilizing soil amendment.

The system operated for 15 months treating up to 40,000 L/day and shows promising results in improving surface water quality with low operating costs, no chemical addition, and no sludge production.�� Total phosphorus was initially reduced 35% with very low influent concentrations (0.12 mg/L) and effluent concentrations near the detection limit.�� In a second phase with artificially higher influent phosphorus concentrations total phosphorus removal increased to 67%.�� The system removed 90% of reactive and dissolved phosphorus.�� Other water quality measures were relatively unchanged (pH, temperature, conductivity, TN) or improved (TSS, turbidity, DO).�� The system can be scaled up to treat 100,000 L/day in a single container.

Other water quality measures were relatively unchanged (pH, temperature, conductivity, TN) or improved (TSS, turbidity, DO).

The Thames River Phosphorus Reduction Collaborative is a voluntary initiative cited in the Canada Ontario Lake Erie Action Plan aimed at contributing to the commitment made in 2016 between Canada and the U.S. to a 40 per cent reduction in the total phosphorus entering Lake Erie.

This project is funded through Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Great Lakes Protection Initiative and through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
