In the wastewater pre-treatment market, Green Turtle™ stands out from the competition
as a recognized research leader.

It’s what separates Green Turtle from plumbing fixture and commodity tank companies
whose products were first conceptualized and designed more than half a century ago.

Green Turtle products such as Proceptor™ separators are designed, developed and
rigorously tested at their Research and Development Center and water analysis lab in
Toronto, Ontario. This facility performs tests from the bench top to full-scale commercial
products and designs full-scale prototypes. And all analytical work done in the water
analysis lab is performed quickly and efficiently, following the Standard Methods for
Examination of Water and Wastewater, backed by the APHA, AWWA and WEF.

Accurately predicting capabilities
The R&D Center conducts market-driven applied research by a team of accomplished
and experienced researchers who specialize in a broad range of scientific fields such as:
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Environmental engineering
• Hydraulics and fluid mechanics
• Materials science
• Applied and organic chemistry
• Physics

Together, they meticulously test our products by monitoring effluent quality with varying
flow rates, concentrations of oil and solids, and temperatures, with the goal of providing
you with the best product for your individual site conditions. Or, specific site conditions
can be re-created to ensure your Proceptor operates at peak performance.

Improving current products while exploring new technologies
In addition to the rigorous testing of current products, Green Turtle is also investigating
new products and technologies to benefit our customers. Some of the projects currently
being explored include:
• Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) reduction technology
• Ultrasonic technology for the measurement of solids, oil/grease levels in wastewater
• pH neutralization for industrial and institutional wastewater applications

Looking beyond our doors
Researchers at Green Turtle understand new wastewater pre-treatment technologies are
constantly being invented – and that not all of these discoveries will take place within
our laboratory.

Strategic partnerships with leading universities and research facilities throughout North
America generate an ongoing exchange of knowledge and ideas to enhance Green Turtle’s
product development.

The research center also has the resources to verify the performance claims of other
products to ensure validity and accuracy, giving Green Turtle the opportunity to assess
upcoming industry trends and combine elements of new technology with its own.

Support beyond installation
Green Turtle is proud of each of its products and confident each Proceptor will meet your
wastewater treatment needs. That’s why each unit is backed by an industry-leading
warranty. However, site conditions can be unpredictable or can change over time. If you
have a question about Proceptor operation or effluent quality, Green Turtle has the staff
and resources to assess the situation and address your questions.

Green Turtle staff can inspect the unit, conduct tests on its efficiency and collect effluent
samples for analysis. Green Turtle will also review a customer’s kitchen or business best
management practices to identify unnecessary fat, oil and grease loading on the Proceptor.

With ongoing research to enhance current products and explore future technologies, and
with ongoing support to ensure your interceptor or separator operates at peak
performance, Green Turtle offers unparalleled value in the wastewater pre-treatment industry.
