Econse Commemorates Three Years of Sustainable Wastewater Management for AtlantiCann Medical Inc.

In December 2024, Econse Water Technologies proudly celebrates three years of collaboration with AtlantiCann Medical Inc. (AMI), located in the picturesque Nova Scotia, Canada. This partnership arose as a response to growing concerns within the local community regarding phosphorous levels in AMI's wastewater, which posed a significant threat to its operations.

An Overview of AtlantiCann Medical Inc.

Founded with the aim of adhering to strict quality and control standards, AMI boasts a sprawling 75,000-square-foot facility dedicated to indoor growing practices. However, as they expanded their operations, the municipality raised alarms about the phosphorous content in their wastewater. A possible shutdown was looming, requiring immediate intervention to ensure compliance with local regulations.

The Role of Econse Water Technologies

Econse emerged as a vital partner, driven by a commitment to preserving water resources and addressing ecological concerns. With a robust infrastructure already developed, AMI needed a solution that could efficiently manage their wastewater while keeping operations running seamlessly. Econse delivered a compact system designed particularly for nutrient management, which was installed with minimal disruption to AMI's workflows.

The innovative solution has effectively treated over 3 million gallons of wastewater, successfully reducing phosphorous levels by approximately 2,000 to 2,500 kilograms, all while working within AMI's budgetary constraints. This escalation in efficiency not only safeguarded AMI's operational continuity but also upheld the regional commitment to environmental stewardship.

Anthony Giardino, Director of Operations at AMI, emphasized the practicality of Econse's system, noting, "The levels of phosphorous, fertilizer, and other contaminants aren't a challenge for the Econse system. It has allowed us to focus on production and innovation instead of worrying about our wastewater." This innovative partnership between Econse and AMI exemplifies how businesses can prioritize sustainability without compromising on operational efficiency.

Scalability and Future Growth

The scalability of Econse's system is a game-changer. As AMI continues its growth trajectory, they can process an increased volume of wastewater without fear of surpassing municipal limits. This strategic advantage puts AMI in an enviable position to expand their production capacities sustainably. Derek Davy, CEO of Econse Water Technologies, has stated that their technology extends beyond just closed environments. They also cater to rural greenhouses by developing solutions that allow for wastewater treatment to levels appropriate for direct discharge.

With the rising necessity for greenhouse cultivation to meet global food demands, the role of sustainable solutions in this industry is paramount. Davy's passion for driving change is evident in his commitment, stating, "We’re excited to help this industry flourish in a way that doesn't harm our critical water resources."

Conclusion

Econse Water Technologies not only tackles wastewater management but leads the charge in innovative, environmentally-conscious solutions that ensure communities and businesses can thrive together. With the launch of their latest system, OZOCAV, which serves as a biosecurity tool against new pandemics, Econse is positioned as a pioneer in redefining water treatment.
