:: Technology : Third Party Testing & Verification

Waterloo Biofilter Systems Inc. prides itself on its consistent treatment performance and is not shy to prove it.  We have participated in a number of independent, objective third-party testing and verification programs that conduct various experiments on our treatment systems.  All of the results are published no matter how good or bad the system performance is.

The two-fold mission of the Test Center is: 1) to evaluate the performance and operation costs of new and innovative wastewater disposal technologies in a carefully controlled and unbiased manner and provide this information to regulators and consumers, and 2) assist vendors in getting their technologies approved for use in Massachusetts and beyond.

    USEPA ETI Independent Testing Results   

Waterloo Biofilter has also participated in the USEPA Environmental Technology Initiative ( ETI) Program at the Buzzards Bay Test Facility in Massachusetts.  These tests consist of loading the Biofilter at very high loading rates for a 24-Month period for single pass systems and for systems with 50% re-circulation.  The actual loading rate is 330 USgpd dosed at household diurnal peaks. Effluent samples were taken and analyzed for BOD5, TSS, Fecal Coliforms, Ammonia (NH4-N) and Total Nitrogen (TN).

The purpose of the Environmental Technology Program is to convey objective, third-part data to the environmental technologies.  It is believed that the increased availability of such information will assist decision makers in selecting more effective and economically feasible technologies.  Easy identification of technologies that have been tested and verified through ETV will facilitate the use of such data in the marketplace.
