Bridging the Infrastructure Gap

Bridging the Infrastructure Gap

My SVG

Aging Infrastructure

In the U.S. alone, many facilities are reaching the end of their service lives, which is 40-50 years. 50%+ of the Northeast's systems and 35% of the Midwest's are over 60 years old.

My SVG

Overtaxed Systems

Systems are nearing or over their design capacities. On average, they are functioning at 81%, and 15% have reached or exceeded capacity. This trend is expected to worsen with urban growth.

Reduce Sludge without Dredging: Lagoon Remediation Program

A village in the middle of Michigan's agricultural heartland contained 3 wastewater lagoons with elevated volumes of sludge on their floors. They entered into a year-long lagoon remediation program with EnviroZyme to reduce the volume of sludge and defer dredging costs in each of the 3 lagoons using WWT 5B Brown.
