In the early 20th century, Cities began to adopt the biological methods that now
form the basis by which wastewater treatment plants function. Microorganisms
act to catalyze the oxidation of biodegradable organics and other contaminants
generating innocuous by-products such as carbon dioxide, water and biomass
(sludge). Simply put, bacteria grow and divide, producing biosolids and clean
water effl uent. Today, this metabolism occurs in wastewater treatment plants,
which have the limits of size, retention time, processing capacity, and of course −
municipal budgets.

In-Pipe Technology enhances this fundamental process by starting treatment
at strategic locations throughout the sewer collection system. In-Pipe’s
patented technology transforms miles of sewer pipe into an active part of the
wastewater treatment process, optimizing the entire infrastructure. This improves
operating economics without additional capital expenditure. Since it uses
natural, biological methods that work with the treatment plant’s own processes,
In-Pipe is a sustainable solution − environmentally and economically.
