OUR WATER WORKS.
We stand by our projects with pride and a commitment to seeing them produce quality effluent for generations.we’ve provided our technologies to over 8,000 water and wastewater projects around the world.
From mechanical plants to lagoon-based wastewater treatment, whether in North America, South America, Europe or Asia, our projects are on the cutting edge of treatment for nutrients and energy efficiency.
The following case studies illuminate some of the more interesting, exciting, and representative work we’ve had the privilege to work on.

Biological Case Studies
BioPorts™ MBBR/IFAS
Seneca Landfill, PA
Officially opened in 1965 just 25 miles north of Pittsburgh, the wastewater treatment plant at Seneca Landfill has the capacity to store millions of gallons of water and process up to 110,000 gallons per day. In order to treat and clean the water, it uses a multi-stage treatment system to process contaminated water from the landfill, so that it can be released safely back into Connoquenessing Creek without any negative impact on wildlife or human populations.
