MWIS Champions Eco-Friendly Wastewater Solutions In Aviation And Food Service

Manila Water Non-East Zone operating unit Manila Water Infratech Solutions (MWIS) has successfully installed its innovative iTECH Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in two key sectors: a leading quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain and the aviation industry. These milestone projects mark a significant advancement in sustainable wastewater management and environmental compliance in the Philippines.

In a pioneering move for the aviation sector, a premier aviation company has partnered with MWIS to install an iTECH Packaged STP at Lio El Nido Airport in Palawan. This installation is the first of its kind in the Philippine aviation industry, addressing the unique challenge of treating aircraft lavatory waste, which contains chemicals that conventional treatment systems cannot process.

Launched by MWIS in 2024, the iTECH sewage treatment system effectively uses advanced membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology which can effectively filter contaminants and pathogens in raw water including nitrate and phosphate, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards and helping preserve the pristine natural environment of Palawan. This initiative positions the aviation company as a leader in environmental stewardship, demonstrating that commercial aviation and ecological preservation can coexist.

Meanwhile, a leading QSR chain in the Philippines has also taken a bold step toward environmental responsibility by installing the iTECH Packaged STP at its Wilson San Juan branch. This installation ensures that wastewater is treated to meet and exceed the standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), thereby protecting vital water resources and marine ecosystems, as well as public health. The QSR’s commitment sets a powerful example for other businesses, proving that profitability and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

These partnerships underscore MWIS’s commitment to making environmental compliance accessible and effective for businesses of all sizes. Through cutting-edge wastewater treatment technology, MWIS continues to support industries in achieving their sustainability goals.

With a daily treatment capacity of 10 cubic meters, the iTECH Packaged STP is ideal for meeting the wastewater needs of small to medium-sized industrial facilities, and remote locations. Its compact design also allows for low-maintenance operation and features a plug-and-play installation system, making it especially suitable for confined spaces and rapid deployment.

Businesses looking to align with environmental standards and contribute to a greener future are encouraged to explore MWIS’s cost-effective, DENR-compliant wastewater treatment solutions.
