ECOfluid's USBF process used to meet the Living Building Challenge
Both projects are contending for the first certified Living Building in Canada
Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 26, 2012 --
ECOfluid Systems Inc., USBF® technology providers, has successfully supplied two decentralized wastewater treatment plants for the new VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Center (Vancouver, BC) and the new UniverCity Childcare Facility (Simon Fraser University, BC). Both of these plants are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the Living Building Challenge.
“Providing treatment systems within the guidelines of the Living Building Challenge was a very unique and inviting challenge for us,” said Justin Hebner, ECOfluid Sales & Marketing Manager. “The restricted red-listed materials combined with the strict product sourcing matrix required creativity and innovation. Conventional design and construction was not always possible.”
Both of the projects are contending to become the first certified Living Building in Canada. As part of the criteria, projects must collect and treat all generated wastewater onsite. The hydraulic flexibility of the USBF® process was very well suited for both projects. In addition, the easy to operate process provides high treatment efficiency, including biological nutrient removal (BNR), at capital and operating costs significantly below those of comparable systems.
