ClearPod technology approved for use in two Canadian provinces as drop-in retrofit solution for enhanced septic system performance.
Following recent 3rd party validation of the technology at the Buzzards Bay Test Facility (Barnstable, MA) the technology was presented to provincial regulators in both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
- A single ClearPod fixed film aeration unit may be used for design flow rates up to 1250 L/day.
- Multiple ClearPod units may be combined in parallel to treat a maximum design flow rate of 5678 L/day for an on-site sewage application.

Nova Scotia – Letter of approval ClearPod July 2015
Prince Edward Island – Letter of Approval ClearPod August 2015
In the U.S. and Canada approximately 25% of households have a septic system for treating wastewater. These systems typically fail after 20 – 30 years of operation, equating to over one million septic systems failing each year in the U.S. alone.
Standard septic system technology functions by settling solids from the waste water stream in an anaerobic environment. Failing to correctly maintain the system or significantly increasing the load to the system raises the risk of failure dramatically.
Current solutions for the replacement or repair of failing septic systems can become a significant cost burden for the homeowner. The ClearPodTMsolution is designed as the low-complexity, robust solution for enhancing and restoring the performance of existing septic systems. ClearPodTM technology is designed as a drop-in retro-fit solution to enhance septic system performance. Leveraging an aerobic, fixed film treatment process the system aims to increase the performance of the system by reducing soluble BOD and TSS concentrations in the wastewater effluent.
