Who We Are

OurWaters & OurSoils (OWOS) - Purpose-driven environmental solutions platform focused on protecting, restoring, and regenerating the ecosystems that sustain us. From nitrate-loaded rivers to failing stormwater systems and degraded soils, OWOS delivers Nature-based solutions (NbS) that are field-deployable, grant-aligned, and proven to work at scale.

What OWOS™ Does.

Ecologically Sustainable & Nature-based Solutions (NbS)

for the Restoration and Nutrient Management of OurWaters™ & OurSoils™.

  • 💧 Water Treatment — Remove nitrates, phosphates, oils, and toxins with media-based filtration

  • 🌱 Soil Health & Regeneration — Restore fertility, structure, and microbial balance

  • 🏙 Stormwater & Infrastructure Protection — Guard against erosion, flooding, and sediment overflows

  • ♻️ Circular Waste Solutions — Treat biosolids, wastewater, and agricultural runoff with reusable systems

  • 🧪 Monitoring & Sampling — Collect nutrient data directly from water bodies with tools like the Envirocator

Designed for Deployment Where It Matters

  • Municipal wastewater treatment & polishing

  • Agricultural runoff & tile discharge mitigation

  • Industrial & food processor biosolid treatment

  • Edge-of-field & regenerative agriculture soil restoration

  • DOT stormwater and MS4 compliance

  • Hypoxia & HAB management in lakes and rivers

  • FEMA and NRCS grant-aligned infrastructure retrofits

Core OWOS Solutions-

AquaFlex®
Medical-grade open-cell foam media (no plasticizers) engineered for high-surface-area adsorption and polishing of dissolved nutrients, hydrocarbons, metals, and organics in stormwater, wastewater, and agricultural runoff. Serves as a primary dissolved-phase treatment layer and can be enhanced in-field with biologics for accelerated nutrient uptake and oxygen transfer.

Hi-Carbon™ Biochar
High-carbon, high-surface-area media for phosphorus capture, dissolved organic carbon (TOC) reduction, hydrocarbon adsorption, and nutrient polishing across water, soil, and dewatering applications. Enables regenerative soil reuse pathways and long-term carbon sequestration when deployed through circular dewatering and land restoration systems.

BioFlex™: Fabric-encased, high-carbon biochar media systems for solids capture, nutrient adsorption (phosphorus & nitrogen), hydrocarbons, and dissolved organics in stormwater, wastewater, ag runoff, and dewatering applications. Engineered for deployment within Flo-Water conveyance platforms (EZ-Catch®, EZ-Catch Pro®, Pump-It Tube®, Hi-Flo Silt Fence) and as stand-alone or hybrid treatment elements with AquaFlex™ and biologics. Supports regenerative soil reuse, circular dewatering, and long-term carbon sequestration.

Flo-Water™
Infrastructure-first inlet, conveyance, and dewatering platforms (EZ-Catch®, EZ-Catch Pro®, EZ-Flo™, Hi-Flo Silt Fence®, Pump-It Tube®) that transform passive drainage and pumping systems into active treatment assets. Provides high-hydraulic-capacity interception of sediment and debris while serving as the delivery and retention layer for advanced treatment media.

Natura Solve™
Targeted microbial and organic formulations that accelerate natural digestion, oxygenation, nutrient transformation, and soil restoration across water, wastewater, ag runoff, and biosolids systems. Designed to pair with physical treatment platforms and media to enhance biological performance, reduce odors, and support long-term ecosystem recovery.

BioStar-CH™ (Chitosan)
Liquid and exclusive dry flake chitosan formulations for rapid phosphorus binding, turbidity reduction, oil and fine solids capture, and coagulation enhancement in water and dewatering applications. Deployable as a stand-alone polishing agent or encapsulated within media systems to provide controlled-release treatment and downstream water quality improvement.

Envirocator™
Three-depth, multi-level water sampling and monitoring tool enabling real-time nutrient profiling, performance verification, and grant or regulatory compliance reporting. Supports field validation of treatment efficacy across hypoxia management, nutrient reduction, and watershed restoration deployments.

OurAir™
Chloride-free, biologic dust and odor suppression solutions for construction, agriculture, industrial sites, and material handling environments. Reduces particulate emissions and nuisance odors while supporting soil health, worker safety, and community compliance without introducing corrosive salts.
