All our designs are based on the fundamentals of proprietary World Leading Wetland Technology of Professor R. Kickuth, acknowledged as the fundamental designer of sub-surface horizontal wetlands -commonly referred to as reed bed systems. See below world class projects using this technology by former licences of Kickuth.
Environmental Wetland Solutions
We believe Engineered Wetlands are the Future in wastewater treatment. This is because of the following properties or advantages:
- Sustainable Natural Infrastructure
- Zero Electricity & Zero Chemicals
- Low to Zero Maintenance thus Low to Zero Operational Costs
- High Tertiary Treatment Results
- Life of Systems +75 to 100 years
- As existing systems get older, and they just keep working and working and working.
Featured Case Studies
Municipal Wastewater and Sludge Treatment: Appleton – Glenwood, NL
Glenwood and Appleton are two towns on opposite sides of the Gander River in Newfoundland. Both towns had ageing, overloaded sewage systems which could no longer meet the environmental regulations required for discharge into the Gander River.
Municipal Wastewater and Sludge Treatment: Stephenville, NL
This is the largest subsurface engineered wetland system design providing secondary treatment in Atlantic Canada. It is located in the Town of Stephenville, on the west coast of the Island of Newfoundland, Canada.
Commercial Wastewater Treatment: Corner Brook, NL
This is a very successful commercial wetland application, built in 2009, provides wastewater treatment for the Long-Term Care Facility in Corner Brook, on the west coast of the Island of Newfoundland, Canada. The effluent is on average CBOD < 10mg/l and TSS <10 mg/l.
The Technology
Our Technology is MSRTM – Microbial Soils and Reeds provide the natural components housed in an engineering design where nature is allowed to do its incredible job in a man-made setting for treatment of man-made wastewaters.
Wastewater Treatment Solutions for:
- Municipal and Industrial Wastewater – Sewage & Stormwater
- Composting Septic Sludge
- Total and Fecal Coliform treatment
- Add to your existing system- or put our wetland in your last lagoon to bring your system up to full compliance
- Industrial and Municipal Landfill Leachate
- Hydrocarbons, Ammonia, and other specific applications

Carbon Offsets
Our lead engineer’s previous wetland designs are now generating Carbon Offsets.
With our affiliated engineering company Sharp Management, we provide carbon offset sales.
Purchase carbon offsets to offset your own carbon footprint.
Implement our wetland technology to generate your own carbon offsets.

The reason we got into Carbon Offsets was to turn our wetland designs into ZERO COST to Operate. We are on track to achieve this by transferring 50% of all revenue from sales back to the municipalities we represent to offset their operational costs. We are not there yet, but we are on track in the coming years to be able to announce our wetland designs are now operating and generating revenue which more than offsets any operational costs making them zero cost to operate and 100% sustainable.
The other 50% of funds generated go to reduce our study work and the cost of our future wetlands, thus putting 100% of all Carbon Offset funds back into wetland projects for our clients.
In our study work for future wetlands, we can look at this for you through a life cycle cost analysis where your wetland will generate a revenue, not a cost to operate.
