Victor, NY — Ecovation, Inc. announced today that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Biotim N.V., Willebroek, Belgium, to sell the company's anaerobic wastewater treatment technologies in the United States, US Territories, Canada*, and Mexico.
Biotim is the leading supplier of anaerobic treatment systems in Europe. With nearly 200 installations worldwide, the company primarily serves food and beverage industries. The company's cornerstone technology, the Biotim® UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket), incorporates a proprietary three-phase settler design with cross-flow modules that are highly effective in retaining biomass within the reactor.
