WaterTectonics granted General Use Level Designation for stormwater runoff on building sites

28 July 2010

The Washington State Department of Ecology granted the general Use Level Designation (GULD) for WaterTectonics' WaveIonics Electrocoagulation Substractive Technology (ECST).

WaterTectonics' WaveIonics ECST is one of only two approved methods for treatment of stormwater runoff on building sites in the state of Washington. The GULD designation will make the system more broadly accessible statewide, as it is now an approved method for Erosion and Sediment Control on construction sites.

The WaveIonics system is an automated electrocoagulation water treatment system operating between 100 to 1,000 gallons per minute for the purpose of reducing turbidity and controlling pH on construction sites. In other applications, the WaveIonics system is also effective for removal of total suspended solids, total and dissolved heavy metals, bacteria, and more.

The system features a Remote Notification functionality. In Remote Notification mode, the WaveIonics system can send text message alerts to an operator's mobile device or email. This allows an operator to perform other on-site duties when the WaveIonics system is in standard operation and only to respond as necessary to system-generated alerts.

Jim Mothersbaugh, founder and president of WaterTectonics said: “WaterTectonics is thrilled to have General Use Level Designation for our WaveIonics system. This recognition from the state of Washington is a testament to the effectiveness and capabilities of our electrocoagulation technology. We are confident that access to this leading edge technology will equip the construction industry to discharge water from sites with a significantly decreased risk of environmental damage.”
