Econse MBR (membrane bioreactor) helps you address infrastructure gaps, speed development, build sustainable communities, and unlock economic growth. Our compact solution can be deployed rapidly — at a fraction of the time and budget required for large-scale infrastructure updates.

DESIGNED TO ADDRESS TODAY’S MOST PRESSING WATER CHALLENGES

TIGHTER REGULATIONS

Environmental compliance standards keep getting more strict. At the same time community, industrial, and agricultural growth are increasing contaminants entering our source water.

Regulatory bodies are increasing pressure to reduce phosphorus, total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and other pollutants. Unfortunately, the result is often insufficiently treated water being discharged back into the environment.

RAPID GROWTH

Communities are expanding to meet the demand for housing, retail, and manufacturing.  Whether new development is pushing further into rural areas or increasing density in existing communities, the aging, outdated, or even non-existent infrastructure is struggling to meet water treatment needs.

INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGES

Aging central systems, overwhelmed treatment facilities, insufficient water supply networks, and other infrastructure gaps are becoming more common across North America. These complex infrastructure challenges impact the ability to serve the existing community, support critical development projects, and fuel economic growth.

WATER SCARCITY

Ongoing drought conditions combined with increased water demand from businesses and communities is having an exponential effect on water availability. Aquifers and reserves are low—and not being replenished fast enough.

SERVING THE CITY OF BATAVIA

Batavia was facing a number of water struggles. They called on Econse to implement a supplemental water treatment system that would help them meet increasing water demand without increasing environmental impact.

Econse enables Batavia address:

  • Growing water demand from businesses and communities

  • Drought conditions

  • Increased contamination in source water

  • A depleted aquifer

  • Tighter wastewater regulations

  • Treated water disappearing downstream

ECONSE DELIVERS AN INNOVATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

The Econse system treats lagoon outfall—water that has already gone through Batavia’s existing year-long treatment process. Our proprietary technology reduces total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids, (TSS) and carbonaceous biological oxygen demand (CBOD) to meet—and often exceed—today’s wastewater standards.

However, instead of allowing treated water to simply wash away, it is now returned upstream to the headworks. This water, treated to levels less contaminated than existing stream water, re-enters Batavia’s system. Now, the city’s water supply is replenished to meet growing demand and offset drought conditions.

Water treated by the Econse system also tests negative for all coliforms and bacteria, so Batavia’s wastewater now truly has low to no impact.

“The City of Batavia explored many options for updating their infrastructure, but the time and costs involved were daunting. We brought a solution that was significantly more affordable and could be implemented in weeks not years. The best part is that the Econse system will easily scale past the pilot program, providing treatment capacity that allows for future business and community growth.”
