Dr. Richard E. Speece, inventor of the Speece Cone and technical advisor to ECO₂, has been named a recipient of the Water Environment Federation’s 2026 W. Wesley Eckenfelder Industrial Water Quality Lifetime Achievement Award, to be presented at WEFTEC in New Orleans on September 28.

A recent Savannah River sewage spill shows the region’s dependence on ECO₂’s technology to restore and sustain water quality.

Officials from Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, recently visited U.S. sites using ECO₂’s Superoxygenation system and were impressed. The technology quickly restores water quality, eliminates odors, and revives aquatic life, all without chemicals or sludge. As global cities seek sustainable solutions, ECO₂ remains a trusted leader in effective, eco-friendly water treatment.

We are excited to announce Brian Rhoades as ECO₂’s Western Regional Sales Manager, leading sales across the western US and Canada with our partners Beaver Equipment, MISCOwater, and Hartwell Environmental.

As the climate changes, maintaining proper oxygen levels in water is vital, Clidence says. “The combination of drought and hotter temperatures is a double negative – less water to dilute pollutants and hotter water less able to hold oxygen. Superoxygenation technology can offset those impacts by keeping pollutants at bay.”

New wastewater treatment infrastructure was installed in 2021 by Grand Rapids Public Utilities (GRPU) that oxygenates the industrial effluent to help mitigate the odors generated from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).

There has been a significant improvement and downstream odor complaints have been all but eliminated, OHM reports.
