The wastewater industry has seen how nutrients have exposed the limits of existing solutions. Nexom designs and supplies the next wave of proven technologies for cleaner water so municipalities and industries can confidently meet and exceed every treatment need.

When wastewater plants get tighter regulations (or even when their aging infrastructure can no longer meet existing regulations), their engineers turn to us to help them produce low carbon, phosphorus or nitrogen concentrations. We offer proprietary technologies like the SAGR, which allows lagoon-based plants to produce non-detect ammonia levels in <1°C water, or like Blue PRO reactive phosphorus filtration, which allows Citronelle AL to beat the lowest phosphorus limit in North America (0.022 mg/L). These, along with the rest of our proven portfolio, make us a leader in clean water technologies.

Responsive service and technologies: Our team strives to make our customers' lives easier by providing responsive service, with design support and drawings that keep projects on track. Our portfolio of proprietary technologies is responsive as well, focused on addressing the contaminants and nutrients that regulators are targeting today and into the future. 

At home in the cold: We understand cold water presents unique dynamics that are often believed to be insurmountable. We know they can, because at our office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, we annually see the coldest winters of any North American city of over 500,000 residents, and its in those conditions that our technologies have been proven. 

Research and performance: We only promise what we have proven we can reliably deliver. We can provide years of data from dozens of full-scale installations, have been approved by the most rigorous regulators on the continent, and have the testimony of recognized academic authorities. All this, to give you the confidence that what we supply will work.

As Nexom, we ensure all wastewater plant operators sleep easy at night through a relentless commitment to proven innovation, best in class employees and customer service.

Nexom is a new name for a rich history that starts in 1997, with the founding of Nelson Environmental. In 2016, with the addition of filtration technologies and a broader focus designed to serve customers better, the company was reborn as Nexom, with industry veteran Tom Pokorsky joining Nelson Environmental founder Martin Hildebrand to lead a united team that is excelling on all fronts.

In fact, it is thanks to this team that Nexom was named the Best Employer in Wastewater by Hunter Crown, the water-focused recruiting and executive search company.
