Imbrium Systems

What Imbrium Systems does

Imbrium Systems is a privately held Canadian-domiciled stormwater treatment technology company, founded in 1991 and operating through a Canadian parent (Imbrium Systems Inc.) and a US subsidiary (Imbrium Systems LLC) headquartered in West Chester, Ohio. The company designs and licenses engineered stormwater treatment solutions rather than manufacturing them directly, monetizing through regional licensing royalties paid by an exclusive network of concrete and infrastructure manufacturers and through engineering-design support to specifying engineers and municipalities.

The product portfolio centers on the Stormceptor family of oil grit separators / hydrodynamic separators (including Stormceptor EF/EFO, Stormceptor Systems, and the modular Stormceptor MAX), the Jellyfish Filter (a membrane filtration system capturing particles down to 2 microns), the SciClone Separator (sediment/trash/hydrocarbon capture with internal bypass), and the Filterra engineered bioretention system (95% smaller footprint than traditional bioretention). All major product lines are verified under the ISO 14034 Environmental Technology Verification protocol, and select products carry NJDEP and WA TAPE certifications. The company supports engineering specification through PCSWMM for Stormceptor (proprietary sizing software) and design worksheets, and pairs products in treatment-train configurations (Stormceptor pretreatment with Jellyfish polishing) for higher-end applications.

Imbrium's customer base spans municipal governments (cities of Markham, Calgary, Richmond Hill, Vancouver), commercial real estate developers (Bosa Properties, QuadReal / Westbank, Salt Construction, New Chelsea Society), retail and industrial end users (Costco, Sobeys, Iberdrola, Rio Tinto, Canexus, Prince Rupert Port Authority, Federal Marine Terminals), and engineering firms (Stantec, MMM Group, H.Y. Engineering, Golder Associates). The go-to-market is engineering-led and specification-driven: PCSWMM and case-study content are used to get products into project designs early, with regional licensees (Langley Concrete Group in BC, Forterra in Ontario, Strescon in Atlantic Canada, Lecuyer in Quebec, Hanson Pipe & Precast, Conteches in the US) handling localized manufacturing, logistics, and sales representation. Headcount is reported as 1-10, consistent with an asset-light IP-and-licensing operating model. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Licensed Manufacturing and Product Sales: Imbrium licenses its proprietary stormwater treatment technologies (Stormceptor, Jellyfish, Filterra, SciClone) to regional manufacturers who produce and sell the products. The company generates revenue through licensing royalties and engineering support services. Products are sold through a network of licensees and direct local representatives.
2. Engineering Design and Technical Services: Imbrium provides engineering design support, product sizing tools (PCSWMM), and technical assistance to engineers, municipalities, and developers. The company also offers 'Lunch & Learn' presentations as a demand-generation and consultative engagement tool.

Core offering

Imbrium Systems designs, develops, and licenses engineered stormwater treatment technologies including the Stormceptor family of oil grit separators (OGS) and hydrodynamic separators, the Jellyfish Filter membrane filtration system, the SciClone separator, and the Filterra engineered bioretention system. Products are manufactured and sold through a network of licensed regional manufacturers and local sales representatives across North America, with engineering support, sizing tools (PCSWMM), and design worksheets provided to engineers and specifiers. The company also provides engineering design and technical services to assist municipalities, developers, and industrial customers with stormwater compliance and treatment train design.

Product overview

Imbrium Systems offers a comprehensive portfolio of engineered stormwater treatment solutions. The core product lines include the Stormceptor family (Stormceptor EF/EFO, Stormceptor Systems, and Stormceptor MAX) which are oil grit separators and hydrodynamic separators for sediment, oil, and pollutant removal; the JellyFish Filter for advanced membrane-based filtration; the SciClone Separator for sediment and hydrocarbon capture; and Filterra as a compact bioretention system. These products work both independently and in combination (treatment train approach) to address various stormwater quality requirements. The Stormceptor products serve as pretreatment units while JellyFish Filter provides fine membrane filtration for enhanced pollutant removal. All products have been third-party tested and verified in accordance with the ISO 14034 Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) protocol.
