A selection from Organica Water's 110+ references in 15 countries — new-build facilities and economical upgrades of existing plants, delivered with the Food Chain Reactor's signature botanical-garden design. All project photographs courtesy of Organica Water.
The transformation that defines the Organica upgrade proposition.
An aging facility struggling with overloads, effluent compliance, foaming, and odor complaints was upgraded from 60,000 to 80,000 m³/day within its existing structures — no new reactors built. Organica Biomodules raised the biomass inventory, operational problems were resolved, all odor issues eliminated, and the plant now discharges reliably to the sensitive Danube — under glass, in a botanical-garden setting the neighborhood welcomes.
Capacity expansion for a fast-growing sewer network and industrial park. The FCR line treats 66% more flow than the parallel MBBR at roughly half the specific energy — 0.19 vs 0.40 kWh/m³ — with full biological nutrient removal compliant with DENR DAO 2016-08, the strictest Philippine effluent standard, since relaxed under DAO 2021-19. The plant doesn’t just meet today’s requirements — it outperforms them.
A garden-like open-air facility in a tropical climate: compact, odor-free, and highly economical — the many advantages of the garden-like treatment concept, already operating an hour from Manila.
An aging urban plant beside a recreational park, upgraded to stricter Class 1B nutrient-removal standards within 80% of the existing reactor volume — at 30% lower CAPEX and 20% lower OPEX than the alternatives.
Greenhouses and glass domes replace open basins: no odor, no "psychological footprint," and a facility a dense Shanghai district accepts as a neighbor. Community acceptance, designed in.
Bare concrete basins transformed into a lush elevated garden — the treatment process working quietly beneath banana trees and pergolas in a subtropical climate close to the Philippines' own.
A mountain-valley plant re-equipped with Organica Biomodules inside its existing concrete reactors, then finished as a flowering garden with timber walkways.
Inside the glasshouse: the plant root zones that anchor the FCR's dense biomass double as a botanical garden, in continuous operation on the banks of the Danube.
An extremely tight urban site where conventional upgrades wouldn't fit: Organica meets stricter discharge standards using the existing reactors and pretreatment — no additional structures required.
