What Flowpoint Environmental Systems does

Flowpoint Environmental Systems is a privately held Canadian manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Morinville, Alberta, with a US headquarters in Denver, Colorado and a Port Hope, Ontario regional sales office. The company designs, fabricates, and supports engineered-to-order (ETO) modular water and wastewater infrastructure for municipalities, utilities, industrial facilities, real estate developers, and Indigenous communities across North America. Its portfolio spans seven core product lines — MBBR wastewater treatment, BiRO+ water treatment, bulk water dispensing stations (seven models), septage receiving stations (four models), above-ground water storage, water pressure control stations, and Filtralite Pure treatment media — supplemented by CSA/cUL custom control panels and in-house engineering and design services.

The company's underlying technology combines biological processes (MBBR with mutag 25-year biofilm media), a 3-stage BiRO+ water treatment process (biological filtration, membrane purification, re-mineralization) using Filtralite Pure NSF-certified ceramic media, and cloud-based monitoring and control software (Water+ and Septage+) with claimed 99.999% uptime. Allen-Bradley controls and SCADA integration are standard across installations. Certifications include ISO 9001, CSA, cUL, NSF, CWB, WCB, and COR, supporting procurement eligibility for municipal and industrial buyers.

Flowpoint operates a direct enterprise field sales model with six named regional sales managers covering Western Canada, Ontario, US Rockies, US Central East, US Midwest, and US Western territories. Revenue is generated through custom hardware sales (engineered-to-order treatment stations delivered in 18-22 weeks), annual software subscriptions ($1,200-$3,600 per year), engineering and design services, and ongoing support and service contracts. The company has served over 800 customers and completed more than 1,000 installations across North America over 30+ years, with named clients including Sturgeon County, Town of Thorsby, City of Denton, ENWIN Utilities, Georgia Spring Water, D&M Excavating, and Crescent, Iowa. The company remains privately held with no external funding, no parent company, and no public financial disclosures.
