Why IMET?
To treat wastewater Nature’s Way, IMET Systems maintain dissolved oxygen at 3ppm and provide extensive surface area within each module. Inside, dense and diverse communities of microorganisms are sustained and complete their full life cycles, providing shock-resistant and highly efficient performance with negliglbe bio-sludge accumulation.

Spotlight:
IMET Technology provides complete treatment within extremely minimal footprint.
With 3 IMET Modules, a large RV camp now treats high-strength wastewater from 280 RV sites, as well as the camp’s showers and the owner’s residence and office.
Municipal Case Study
When seasonal tourism surges overwhelmed the wastewater treatment plant of a coastal town in Turkey, IMET modules drastically increased the plant’s treatment capacity without expanding its footprint. The plant went years without requiring bio-sludge removal, and clean effluent used to irrigate nearby olive groves.
Commercial Case Study
A luxury Caribbean resort facing constant hydrogen sulfide odors and regular grease interceptor pumping installed IMET modules in each chamber. Odor was reduced to negligible levels and grease accumulation dropped so dramatically that pumping was reduced to occasional surface skimming.
Residential Case Study
A century-old home in Northeast Ohio faced a failing three-tank septic system and clogged leach field, with standing wastewater and strong odors. The county’s recommended fixes (a large sand mound or clearing a mature tree lot for a new leach field), would have dramatically altered the property.
Instead, IMET installed a single “drop-in”aerobic biological module in the second tank of the septic system. Within six months the septic system and leach field were fully restored, eliminating odors and pumping needs while achieving effluent quality below 10 mg/L BOD and 5 mg/L TSS.
