Solutions for Institutions and Non-Profit Facilities

Orenco's technologies are well suited for remote sites and the highly variable flows that are commonplace with these types of facilities.

Campgrounds

Orenco has provided solutions for more than 100 campground facilities. Year round usage, seasonal, or remote, we have a solution for you.

Camp Meriwether is a Boy Scout vacation camp in Oregon with rustic lodges and cabins. The site's wastewater is handled by a watertight septic tank effluent pumping (STEP) system followed by an array of AdvanTex filters designed with a capacity of 10,000 gpd (38 m3/d).


Schools

Wapsie Valley High School in Fairbank, Iowa, had surfacing wastewater flowing over the school's parking lot from a 45-year old drainfield. Highly variable flows, site constraints, and a cold climate posed challenges for a replacement system. An AdvanTex AX100 system with TCOM remote telemetry monitoring met the challenge.


Military/Government Facilities

The remote location of many military sites means that a stand-alone wastewater system must be constructed. Reliable, decentralized treatment technology, such as AdvanTex, can be quickly installed and operated with minimal maintenance.  Our AdvanTex AX-Mobile unit is particularly well-suited for remote, temporary, or mobile situations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chose AdvanTex to replace a failing treatment system for the Fort Gordon Recreation Area and the surrounding commercial facilities.


Rest Areas

In the summer months, the rest areas in Glenwood Canyon along Interstate 70 in Colorado handle hundreds of visitors daily. Existing composting toilets had exceeded their design capacity and were causing unacceptable odors.  Furthermore, the rest stops' high profile locations and effluent discharge into the Colorado River made achievement of treatment levels paramount.  An energy-efficient AdvanTex system met the challenge.


Churches

Holy Trinity Church in Alberta, Canada, needed an affordable wastewater solution for its members' new facility. Predictably variable daily flows, due to the church's use mostly on Sundays, required a treatment option capable of handling both surges and low flow situations.  The system also needed to perform well after several days without use during Alberta's cold winter weather. The final design incorporated AdvanTex treatment to handle up to 3,500 gpd (13.2 m3/d).

Our Technologies

Effluent Sewer

From on-lot interceptor tanks, only filtered liquid is discharged through small-diameter, shallow collection lines to common downstream treatment, whether that is a neighborhood system or a municipal plant miles away. 


AdvanTex® Treatment

Textile sheets in AdvanTex filter pods produce clear, high quality effluent.  Modular construction allows for phased installation of total treatment capacity.


Controls

Orenco designs and manufactures control and monitoring panels for customers all over the world.  Our panels are used in water, waste water, and industrial process applications.
