Project description:

The main objective of this project is to design, build, and operate 1-2 commercial scale Lagoon Augmentation – MAGNA Biofilter Wetland System facilities in Alberta communities. The number of installations will depend on the number of communities selected and the sizing/budget for their wastewater facility upgrades. These facilities will allow these communities to enhance effluent treatment in order to release to low-flow receiving environment’s due to the impacts of Alberta’s 2024 drought.
