IMET® Aerobic Biological Technology Increases Capacity in a Coastal City Wastewater Treatment Plant on Aegean Sea
Coastal town Karaburun, Turkey was struggling to keep up with seasonal tourism surges that overwhelmed its wastewater treatment plant.
IMET Treatment Modules drastically increased the WWTP’s treatment capacity without expanding its footprint, restoring the town’s Blue Flag beach status while producing clean effluent used to irrigate nearby olive groves. Over a 5 year period of operation using the IMET technology, no bio-sludge was disposed from the WWTP.
Using IMET® Technology to Minimize Odor and Bio-Solids Buildup at an Ottawa County Pump Station
After installing an IMET system at Pump Station 50 (PS 50) in a prominent neighborhood in Ottawa County, Ohio, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) odor was significantly reduced to negligible levels. This is a major win considering the proximity of the pump station to residential homes and Catawba Island’s high tourist population in the summer. The organic mat that formed on top of the wet well disappeared, helping regulate the water levels and reducing how often it needed to be pumped.
The system delivered 80-95% reduction of CBOD5 in the wet well depending on the fluctuating residence time due to Catawba’s seasonal population changes.
Ottawa County reduced the amount of calcium nitrate sent upstream by 2,470 gallons, resulting in $6,700 in chemical savings from February to September of 2025.
IMET® Grease Modules at Ciragan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul Turkey
IMET Corporation installed one of the world’s first commercially successful Fats, Oils and Grease or (F.O.G.) “drop in” wastewater treatment technologies at the world famous Ciragan Palace Kempinski Luxury Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey. IMET Grease Modules (IGMs) provided a completely green solution to the significant odor issues and line plugging issues associated with onsite grease traps and lift stations at the hotel while providing the hotel with the opportunity to re-use its “grey water”.
