SAND FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE U.S. AND CANADA

Limnoterra Limited provides professional consultation services in environmental sciences and its applications. The firm was incorporated in 1979 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada by Dr. R. Jon Planck. Dr. Planck has been consulting in environmental projects for more than 30 years. In 1991, Limnoterra Limited of Kitchener, Ontario began looking for better onsite sewage treatment technology that could be offered as an alternative to standard Class IV septic systems.

Limnoterra incorporated Sand Filtration Incorporated (SFI) to bring the Orenco sand filtration technology to Ontario in an orderly and organized manner. As a representative of Orenco, Sand Filtration Incorporated provides systems and equipment that is manufactured by Orenco Systems Inc. SFI also offers design assistance through our in-house engineer who works closely with Orenco's experienced engineering and design teams.

Obtaining an arrangement with Orenco Systems Inc. in Oregon, to bring sand filtration technology to Ontario, compliments Limnoterra Limited's ability to fully design urban communities. Sand filter sewage treatment technology produces very high quality sewage effluent for a price comparable to or better than other sewage system technologies. The greatest advantage in sand filtration technology is that it has widespread application and provides a viable, cost effective solution for sewage treatment in areas where standard systems are inappropriate.

 Working through established sewage system designers and engineering firms, SFI will recommend and price the appropriate components for each installation, supply the equipment, and arrange for one of our affiliate installers to construct the system. To ensure that the equipment performs up to expectations, SFI provides follow-up as part of the installation fee and also offers annual maintenance contracts.
