Field verification of a scalable and cost effective advanced electrochemical oxidation vortex system for water treatment and phosphorus removal

Alberta’s water resources face increasing strain from growth, industry, and climate change, with excess phosphorus fueling harmful algae blooms. This pilot project tests Acti-Zyme’s E.C.O. Vortex system—an electrochemical water treatment technology that reduces phosphorus and contaminants without chemicals. Water flows through a vortex tank and filtration stage, enabling efficient treatment. Pilots at both a wastewater and a drinking water plant will assess performance, energy use, and scalability. The project aims to validate regulatory compliance, support commercialization, and build trust in sustainable treatment solutions, positioning Alberta as a leader in clean water innovation and resilience.
