Clean Water
PLANT-BASED WASTEWATER TREATMENT
The CLEARAS plant-based approach recovers valuable nutrients from municipal and industrial wastewater to deliver water quality that meets or exceeds current and future regulations.
Our EcoRecover system displaces expensive chemical systems that produce a harmful chemical sludge byproduct.
Wastewater rich with phosphorus and ammonium, mixes with CO2 and plant material

Plant material grows and consumes all nutrients (P, N, CO2) with help from sun
A membrane separates plant material from clean water

EcoRecover managed by AIMS, a proprietary SCADA system.
Chemical Addition
The chemical addition solution binds chemicals to the nutrients, making them large enough to screen out. The resulting chemical sludges are disposed of in our landfills indefinitely.
