Orenco was founded in the 1980s by President Hal Ball and Executive Vice President Terry Bounds, to respond to widespread failures in Oregon's onsite wastewater systems. Over the past 20 years, the company has grown to become an industry leader, with more than 255 employees and 70 distributors, who represent most of the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Research, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Sales Support are handled out of our 23-acre facility in Sutherlin, Oregon.
Orenco designs and manufactures advanced onsite (decentralized) wastewater technologies for individual properties and small communities — properties that are not hooked up to centralized sewers or whose sewers are failing or at capacity.
Our wastewater solutions involve in-tank filtration systems (effluent filters, pump vaults), secondary treatment systems (intermittent sand filters, recirculating sand filters, textile filters), collection systems (effluent sewers), pumping packages, accessory items, and electrical controls. Our products and systems allow treated effluent to be returned harmlessly to the environment via drainfield, lagoon, constructed wetland, or subsurface irrigation.
We maintain an environmental lab and invest time and money in a continuing research program, often in cooperation with colleges and universities. Our research and technologies appear in numerous publications, including Metcalf & Eddy's Wastewater Engineering: Treatment, Disposal, Reuse and Crites & Tchobanoglous' Small and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems. Our engineers are regularly asked to give workshops, and our systems have been installed all over the world.
