Anue Water Technologies (Tucker, Georgia, USA) was selected as the exclusive distributor of Pi
2 Technologies Geo-Membrane products for the entire United States, Canada, and the Caribbean region.
The water technologies company describes itself as the leading manufacturer of high-efficiency ozone and oxygen generation and related systems for the elimination of odor, corrosion, and FOG (fat, oil, grease) in municipal and industrial wastewater systems.
The technology consists of high-strength membranes fitted with pockets that contain replaceable filter media, custom engineered to fit each application and ensure broad-spectrum odor control.
“Anue is proud to have been selected as the exclusive distributor for this innovative, thoroughly tested and proven technology,” says CEO Paul Turgeon. “It offers many more municipal and industrial customers an even lower-cost approach to sustainable odor control. This broadens [our] product line to a wider range of odor control solutions.”
The products can be used in practically any application, including headworks, tanks, sludge pits, open channels, vessels, manhole covers, truck bays, vertical vents, and fugitive emissions from vent covers. The technology was commercialized in 2011 and is currently being used in 11 countries by major companies and municipalities. This includes use in industrial, municipal, and food and beverage applications, with available case histories from each segment, according to company officials.
The filters are designed to remove all odors, including those from difficult sulfides and ammonia. The system eliminates the need for costly chemicals or scrubber equipment while greatly reducing labor touch and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (Washington, DC, USA) risks.
“Having achieved great success around the world, Pi2 wanted to select the best experts on odor control for distribution,” says Leif Dahlberg, CEO of Pi2 Technologies (Montreal, Quebec, Canada). “Having investigated several good U.S. companies, we selected Anue because of their expertise in odor control, a highly complementary product line of ozone and oxygen injection systems, and their world-class staff of experts who are already experienced in the effective use of these geo-membrane filters.”
