We've researched, designed, and manufactured leading-edge decentralized and onsite wastewater treatment technologies since 1981. Our solutions include advanced secondary treatment systems, in-tank pumping and filtration systems, community collection systems (Orenco Sewers), fiberglass composite buildings, and electrical controls.
Flagship products include AdvanTex® Treatment Systems for both commercial & residential markets, coupled with VeriComm® and TCOM remote telemetry systems for round-the-clock monitoring and control, and DuraFiber FRP composite buildings, structures, and wet wells. Headquartered in Oregon, Orenco sells its products through about 300 points of distribution, and its technologies have been installed all over the world.

Blackwater
Treating the entire waste stream is the most efficient approach to reuse. AdvanTex® Treatment Systems use natural processes to meet strict permit limits.
Greywater
If you need a greywater system, AdvanTex® products can help recycle water from showers, sinks, and laundry facilities (subject to local regulations).
Stormwater
Orenco® Stormwater Catch Basins provide a durable, cost-effective alternative to a concrete or steel basin.
Orenco Sewers™
Orenco Sewers collect raw sewage in a watertight, underground tank. Only filtered effluent is discharged to the treatment system.
Municipal Treatment
AdvanTex Treatment Systems use an engineered textile media and treat wastewater to meet strict permit limits.
For more than a decade, Orenco's AdvanTex® technology has provided a reliable, energy-efficient alternative for wastewater treatment in some of the world's most remote places. The AdvanTex AX-Mobile™ is Orenco's most portable treatment plant yet. Think of it as a "mini" onsite treatment facility, ready to go wherever you need it.
On many sites, gravity can convey filtered wastewater to a drainfield, with no need for pumping.
Pumping Systems
On other sites, a pumping system conveys filtered effluent, either to a drainfield or to additional components in the system.
Advanced Treatment Systems
On difficult or environmentally sensitive sites, an advanced or secondary wastewater treatment system treats the effluent to very high levels.
Orenco Sewers
Orenco Sewers collect raw sewage in a watertight, underground tank. Only filtered effluent is discharged to the treatment system.
Community Treatment
AdvanTex® Treatment Systems use an engineered textile media and treat wastewater to meet strict permit limits.
AdvanTex® Wastewater Treatment Systems
Orenco also offers a variety of AdvanTex Greywater Treatment Systems suitable for a wide range of flows. For example, the AdvanTex AX10-RTUV is designed for commercial and residential small-flow applications. Each AX10-RTUV is a single, complete, self-contained module that treats greywater to reuse standards before pump or gravity discharge. All AdvanTex Greywater units feature the same dependable, efficient AdvanTex textile media used in our wastewater treatment systems.
Our patented AdvanTex Treatment System is a compact and efficient recirculating packed-bed filter. Packed-bed filters have proven to be a highly reliable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance technology. However, unlike other packed-bed filters -ones that use sand, peat, foam, or other materials for the treatment media - AdvanTex uses a lightweight, compact, and easy-to- maintain textile fabric.
AdvanTex Treatment Systems were honored by the Water Environment Federation with a 2011 "Innovative Technology Award" and by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities with a 2011 "Sustainable Community Award." Because they are such an environmentally sound product, AdvanTex Treatment Systems help developers earn LEED credits. And the Energy Trust of Oregon provides rebates for AdvanTex Treatment Systems because they are so energy-efficient.
AdvanTex Treatment Systems are also very easy to live with. They're quiet and emit minimal odors. Plus, our residential- and commercial-sized units have a very low profile, so they blend right into the landscaping.
Composite Products
Orenco Controls
However our control panels are used, we provide our clients with a custom-engineered, plug-and-play package that's preprogrammed and easy to use. The categories below illustrate some of the ways customers are using our products. If you have a controls application beyond the categories we list here, just let us know.

We love a challenge and when it comes to custom controls, our prices and turnaround times are tough to beat. Contact us to find out how we can meet your needs.
TCOM Viewer is a software interface between Windows PCs and Orenco's TCOM remote telemetry control panels. The interface stores configurations for multiple sites, has a simplified "double-click to select" mouse interface for menu items, and offers new screen color choices for better visibility. Sites can be sorted by factory identification number or by operator-designated panel name.
