Orenco AdvanTex: Greywater Reuse at Boy Scouts WV Summit

Orenco Systems' case studies showcase large-scale and educational greywater treatment and reuse projects using AdvanTex textile filter technology. At the Boy Scouts of America Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia, 224 AdvanTex AX20-RT units plus two AX-Max units treat greywater from 336 shower buildings, enabling toilet flushing reuse and saving up to 200,000 gallons (757 m³) per day during events like the National Scout Jamboree (40,000 attendees). The system processes high volumes reliably for environmental compliance. Another case is the Cal Poly University Center for Sustainability garden in San Luis Obispo, California, a training site for engineering students. It features a 15,000-gallon (56.8 m³) septic/equalization tank, followed by a 980-ft² (91 m²) subsurface wetland, 500-ft² (46 m²) sand filter, and AdvanTex system, producing high-quality effluent for subsurface drip irrigation and toilet flushing. A third example is a 260-acre development where an AX-Max unit handles 2,600 gpd (9.8 m³/day) average flow, peaking at 5,300 gpd (20.1 m³/day), with easy scalability. Practical details include modular design, low maintenance, BOD/TSS removal efficiencies >95%, and integration with existing septic systems. These cases demonstrate robust, proven methods for commercial, institutional, and landscape-scale greywater reuse, with quantifiable water savings and expansion options.
