Commercial Wastewater Treatment Applications
Corporate Office Parks & Campuses
AquaPoint has provided wastewater treatment systems to the corporate campuses of some of the world’s most recognizable companies. At the Liberty Mutual Insurance offices in Weston MA, the biologically treated water is reused for irrigation, toilet flushing, air conditioning cooling and other non-potable purposes as part of corporate social responsibility and sustainability strategies.
Liberty Mutual Office Building – Weston, MA
- Treatment Objective – Total Nitrogen Removal (< 10 mg/l)
- Technology – Bioclere™
- Design Flow – 15,000 gpd
Golf Courses & Clubhouses
Golf courses and communities such as Reflection Village in Cape Cod will increasingly survive and compete based on their ability to control water costs and energy. AquaPoint’s advanced treatment and water reuse systems allow golf courses and country clubs to achieve savings on the most expensive element of their operating budget.
Reflection Village & Golf Course - Sandwich, MA
- Treatment Objective – Total Nitrogen Removal (< 25 mg/l)
- Technology – Bioclere™
- Design Flow – 7,250 gpd
Commercial Shopping Plazas
Wastewater treatment systems designed for shopping plazas must be flexible enough to handle a wide variety of tenants and variable waste stream composition. With nearly 100 installations serving shopping plazas, AquaPoint has the experience and technologies to address the high strength and frequently changing waste characteristics of mixed-use commercial developments.
Skaket Corners - Orleans, MA
- Treatment Objective – High Strength / Total Nitrogen Removal (< 10 mg/l)
- Technology – Bioclere™
- Design Flow – 20,000 gpd
Supermarkets & Grocery Stores
Modern-day supermarket chains prepare a larger volume of food onsite creating wastewater with high organic (BOD5) and fat, oil and grease (FOG) content. Many grocery store chains have come to the realization that advanced onsite treatment systems can preserve the life of their drain fields indefinitely. When compared to the cost of a failed septic system and plugged drain field it is estimated that advanced treatment yields a 3-5 year return on investment for supermarkets. With over 50 systems installed for the likes of Stop & Shop, Hannaford Brothers, Publix, Kroger, Food Lion and other regional chains, AquaPoint has the knowledge and technology to successfully treat high strength supermarket waste.
Stop & Shop Supermarket - Foxboro, MA
- Treatment Objective – High Strength Organic Reduction / Total Nitrogen Removal (< 10 mg/l)
- Technology – Bioclere™
- Design Flow – 5,575 gpd
Hotels, Spas & Hospitality
Hotels, motels, spas and resorts of all types are utilizing advanced wastewater treatment systems. These applications often face various challenges due to seasonal changes in average daily and peak flow rates, and are often located in secluded locations where reliable and discrete wastewater infrastructure is necessary. Many resorts are finding ways to reduce water usage costs by implementing low flow devices and/or re-using effluent for irrigation purposes. AquaPoint’s fixed film systems are designed to be resilient and reliable enough to provide advanced treatment under these challenging & changing conditions.
Hilton Garden Inn – Kitty Hawk, NC
- Treatment Objective – North Carolina TSII Standards/Total Nitrogen Removal (< 20 mg/l)
- Technology – Bioclere™
- Design Flow – 30,000 gpd
Travel & Truck Stops
Travel and truck stops are located near major highways, often miles removed from central sewer infrastructure. Advanced wastewater treatment must be both cost-effective and capable of handling the mixed use treatment needs of travel stops – gas stations, car washes, restaurants, showers and restrooms. AquaPoint advanced systems are meeting that test in locations across the country.
Pilot Travel Center – Winnemucca, NV
- Treatment Objective – High Strength Organic Reduction / Total Nitrogen Removal (< 10 mg/l TN)

Adult and assisted living communities are unique. The wastewater from these facilities contains compounds that are unique to the medications of their residents, on top of the normal residential and food service wastewater. With decades of experience in high strength wastewater and unique waste streams, AquaPoint has provided successful solutions to adult living communities for years.
