Infiltrator Launches New Advanced Treatment Solution and Expands Tank Offering

HILLIARD, Ohio – (January 24, 2024) – Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater and onsite septic wastewater industries, today announced the launch of three new products that deepen Infiltrator Water Technologies’ portfolio of highly innovative onsite septic wastewater solutions.

New Advanced Treatment Solution

Infiltrator has launched the ECOPOD-NX, a new model in the ECOPOD series for advanced wastewater treatment in residential applications. The ECOPOD-NX technology recirculates wastewater to achieve 80% Total Nitrogen reduction, addressing the needs of contractors in markets with more strict treatment regulations. The ECOPOD-NX also provides contractors with increased flexibility, as it can be installed in a single tank to treat wastewater flows of up to 500 gallons per day.

Expansion of Tank Offerings

Infiltrator has also expanded its plastic tank offering to include two new sizes, the IM-1250 and the IM-300. The IM-1250 is designed for use as a single or in-series septic tank with a design volume capacity of approximately 1,270 gallons. This tank size complements the current offering of 1,000-gallon and 1,500-gallon capacity tanks, providing contractors with additional installation flexibility. The IM-300 is designed for use in pump tank applications with a total volume capacity of approximately 300 gallons.

Both tanks are manufactured using Infiltrator’s unique two-piece design technology, which allows for increased transportation efficiency and ease of installation compared to other products on the market today, such as concrete or one-piece plastic tanks . Like other Infiltrator products, the new tanks are manufactured using recycled plastic material, supporting the Company’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and creating a circular economy for plastics.

“Today’s product announcements are further evidence of our commitment to innovative water management solutions that protect water, the world’s most precious resource,” said Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS. “The new ECOPOD-NX provides the highest level of wastewater treatment in the ECOPOD product series, allowing Infiltrator to penetrate new areas of the highly attractive advanced treatment market. We are excited about the future of these products, as Infiltrator has a long history of bringing innovation and best-in-class manufacturing engineering to the industry.”

The ECOPOD-NX, IM-1250 tank and IM-300 tank will be on display at the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment and Transport (WWETT) show, taking place in January 25-27, 2024, in Indianapolis, IN.
