New Data from Field Studies of Nutrient Reduction

Real-world third-party studies of nutrient reduction performance with Orenco's AdvanTex Treatment System are helping the systems win approval in areas where nutrient reduction is essential.

In Pennsylvania, an ongoing technology verification study at eight homes has recorded 64% total nitrogen (TN) reduction (17 mg/L mean) and 95% ammonia (NH3) reduction (1.7 mg/L mean).
In Virginia, a two-year approval study at 13 homes found means of 15 mg/L TN and 1.8 mg/L NH3.
In New York, the Skaneateles Demonstration Project found mean TN of 14 mg/L, mean NH3 of 0.9 mg/L, and mean total phosphorus (TP) of 10 mg/L on two single-family homes.

In New Zealand, in a 13-month test center trial using municipal effluent, the Rotorua District Council and Environment Bay of Plenty compared the AdvanTex AX20 Residential Treatment System with four other advanced treatment systems and found that the AX20 had the most consistent performance of all the systems, logging 82% reduction of TN (to 13 mg/L), 99% reduction of NH3 (to 0.3 mg/L), and 33% reduction of TP (to 8 mg/L).
