Tecvalco's New Wastewater Treatment System Exceeding Expectations

With seven months of run-time behind it, the MemFree Wastewater Treatment System is exceeding expectations at the Town of Unity, Canada.

And this bodes well for the province. The first-of-its-kind-in-Canada wastewater treatment system was installed in the Saskatchewan town back at the beginning of January 2017.

The two systems in Unity were manufactured by Tecvalco Ltd., which is headquartered in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and has their primary manufacturing facility located in North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

“The Unity project was an integral first for use of the MemFree system on wastewater treatment in Canada,” noted Tecvalco president Mike Menger.

Mr. Menger believes so strongly in the growth potential of this product, that Tecvalco recently completed a hiring blitz in North Battleford, adding an additional shift to the manufacturing facility.

“We believe in this product, and in the community that we have chosen to call home for our manufacturing efforts,” Mr. Menger added. “It’s fantastic being able to generate more meaningful jobs here in Saskatchewan.”

He has every reason to be optimistic, as the test results are proving the technology works.

“Results we are getting show that the technology has proven to exceed Canadian standards for wastewater by 400 per cent,” noted Darrell Behan, CEO of Soneera Water. Mr. Behan added that the interested being generated by the Unity installation is enormous, especially in Saskatchewan’s smaller communities. Numerous representatives from other communities have made the trip to Unit to see the units in action, and view the results for themselves.

Mr. Behan added that Soneera Water presented an update to the Town of Unity on the system a month and a half ago, and they were very pleased with the progress.

“All things considered, I believe the MemFree system is surpassing expectations so far,” said Collin Field, the Director of Public Works and Infrastructure at the Town of Unity.

While small towns are the prime candidate for this system, the system is capable of much more. It has applications in industrial use, oil and gas, tailing ponds, breweries, creameries, dairy operations, and a wide variety of other commercial and agriculture sectors.
