RIVIÈRE-DU-LOUP, QC, July 6, 2015
/CNW Telbec/ - Global leader Premier Tech Aqua (PTA), the
Environmental Technologies Group of Premier Tech, celebrates 20
years of innovation and success in water preservation with its
leading-edge and ecological onsite wastewater treatment system:
Ecoflo.
A permanent, durable and no energy septic system based on a
compact filter technology, Ecoflo fully protects ecosystems using a
patented, 100% organic filtering media made from discarded coco
husks to which PTA gives a second life.
Easily composted and recyclable at the end of its useful life,
the coco husk-fragment based filtering media, with its multiple
levels of porosity, is an active and highly efficient
microbiological filter that also acts as a barrier that retains
pollutants and debris. The exceptional biofiltration qualities of
the coco media inside the Ecoflo thus offers the unique possibility
of treating wastewater naturally with great efficiency but also to
reduce the long-term environmental impact of the product.
Ensuring the ecological use of the coconut tree and creating no
unwanted trash at the end of the useful life of its filter, Ecoflo
now leads the way as the greenest solution available on the market
and the preferred choice of environmentally-conscious consumers
looking for a smarter way to ensure the protection of water
resources.
Invented in Québec and now built in Canada, the USA and Europe, Ecoflo is currently the world's
leading brand in compact onsite wastewater treatment systems for
the residential, commercial, community and institutional sectors.
Each system registered with PTA is supported by high-quality
customer care standards, and a unique network of local service
partners committed to meeting the most stringent requirements in
environmental protection.
The 20th anniversary year of Ecoflo will also
highlight the innovative spirit of the team behind the
award-winning brand in a major way as PTA will soon launch two new
and game-changing versions of the system and introduce it in
additional American states and European countries. Further
extending its existing product line, PTA will now offer the most
complete and advanced line of wastewater treatment products in the
onsite industry.
everaging Nature's Ingenuity to Imagine Greener
Products
Ecoflo redefines the market with energy-efficient onsite
wastewater filtration technology that relies on sustainable
filtering media instead of the mineral or synthetic materials often
used by other systems (rock wool, plastic, foam, textile, etc.). As
with any filter treating wastewater, the filtering media inside
Ecoflo has to be replaced after years of usage. But the choice of a
natural filtering media that produces a biomass that can be
recycled as a rich soil amendment ideal for growing trees and
shrubs in nurseries or as a source for renewable energy – is an
environmental breakthrough.
The Best Did Not Come by Chance...
Putting at work nature and human imagination, the Ecoflo product
line is the result of 30 years of continued investment in
Innovation and of the work of the largest team of experts,
scientists, engineers and technicians in the industry. Pushing the
limits of sustainable compact biofilter technologies offering high
performances and durability at competitive prices to consumers, the
team behind the brand has focused on improving Ecoflo since the
introduction of the technology in 1995. Thanks to these passionate
and dedicated experts committed to constantly challenging
themselves to invent better, more compact and more ecological
products, PTA now looks to the future and remains ahead of industry
trends.
100,000 Units Installed and Counting!
Reaching the milestone of 100,000 units installed in seventeen
countries in 2015, the Ecoflo brand has evolved into a complete
line of wastewater treatment and polishing options suitable for all
soil conditions and flow requirements and meeting the strictest
effluent norms. Designed to resist to the harshest climates and
periods of no-flow as well as peak flows, the system is available
in ready-to-use rotomolded polyethylene tanks, stackable fiberglass
shells as well as concrete tanks made by local precasters to
further reduce the carbon footprint of the product.
The continuous development of the Ecoflo technological platform
and the drive to design better, smaller and smarter products have
also enabled Premier Tech Aqua to become a world-leading provider
of small flow water and wastewater solutions, including liquid
storage, pumping stations and the highly-promising sector of
rainwater harvesting. Strengthened by the experience of a dynamic
team of over 900 team members who ensure a local presence in nine
countries, an extensive product portfolio and global sales reaching
CA$140M annually, Premier Tech Aqua is undoubtedly one of the
leaders and pioneers of its industry.
Speaking about the amazing 20 years of Ecoflo and the arrival of
two new and industry-changing products, Henri Ouellet, President of Premier Tech's
Environmental Technologies Group said, "The story of Ecoflo and why
our teams challenged themselves relentlessly over the years to
build and improve an already great product can be summarized into
one word: passion. Passion for the environment and for innovation,
but most importantly, a true commitment to preserving and
protecting precious water resources all over the world. The arrival
of new Ecoflo versions and the development of untapped markets are
always exciting events for our teams, but doing so during Ecoflo's
20th anniversary celebrations is even more exciting
for us. We are truly grateful to the homeowners and professionals
who trust Ecoflo as they have been key to its success. Stay tuned,
the next Ecoflo breakthrough is always around the corner!"
