Aan de Stegge (ADS) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Organica Water, for ADS to hold the exclusive license of Organica Technology for the Dutch market.

Localized wastewater treatment specialist Organica Water brings a highly imaginative approach to wastewater treatment in urban and suburban areas. Organica’s treatment facilities utilize active biofilms on natural (plant) and/or engineered (patented biofiber media) root structures, all housed in a fully-enclosed, odorless facility. The result is a solution which offers a significantly reduced physical footprint and lower operational and infrastructure costs when compared to conventional wastewater treatment solutions, all in the form of a pleasant botanical garden-like environment. Organica-powered facility is more than just a wastewater treatment plant. It is also a water reclamation garden, educational facility, and symbol of sustainability in the community that enables cost-efficient water reuse and allows for maximized development opportunities – particularly in populated areas where footprint and odor are significant concerns.

Aan de Stegge is the Dutch market leader in the design and realization of municipal wastewater and drinking water treatment plants. . The company is unique as it offers the combination of civil and mechanical engineering and overall turnkey project management under one roof.

The Netherlands is well known for its leadership and innovation in sustainable water resources management,” said Ari Raivetz, Chief Executive Officer of Organica Water. “With Aan de Stegge’s strong position within the market, we feel we have a very effective delivery partner for leading the introduction of FCR to The Netherlands.

Organica’s solutions bring to our market a welcome differentiator from some of the other great solutions we are seeing implemented here,” commented Henk Schonewille, Commercial Director of ADS

There are social aspects of the Organica FCR process that are entirely unique, enabling end users to come much closer to their customer base, with water reclamation gardens treating wastewater in the midst of their neighborhoods”.
