The
Equaris Corporation began in the mid 1980's developing Biomatter
Resequencing Converter (BMRC) Technology to solve onsite water
conservation and pollution prevention toilet problems in National
Guard armories throughout western Alaska. The success of this
project resulted in a National Award for "Energy Innovations"
from the U.S. Department of Energy in 1988.
In
the 1990's Equaris applied its technologies to the development
of advanced wastewater treatment systems for Alaskan homeowners
and fishing lodges who were experiencing problems installing
septic systems in the fragile Alaskan environment. These treatment
solutions earned Equaris a U.S. Patent for its Apparatus for
Composting Organic Waste Materials and Method, in 1993.
In
order to meet an ever-expanding market and reduce operational
costs, in 1995 the Equaris Corporation moved its headquarters
and manufacturing facilities to Minnesota. The corporation experienced
continued growth in 1999 through the development of the Equaris
Household Water Treatment and Wastewater Recycling System and
was awarded another U.S. Patent for its Waste and Water Treatment
and Recycling System, in 2001.
Today,
the Equaris Corporation continues as an industry leader in the
development and application of sustainable onsite Water Recycling
and Wastewater Treatment Systems. Our proven systems are meeting
the world's growing need for clean water and a clean environment.

generations communities have relied on wells or a city water
supply. Yet over the past several years conventional wastewater
treatment systems have squandered and polluted many water resources
rendering them unable to meet the demands of population growth
and community development.
