Full Interview

Sim Pac Conversations From The Edge full interview with creator Geoff Mathews and Enviro Founder Leo Crasti.

Leo explains the technology behind Enviro systems, which effectively purify stormwater without the use of filters or moving parts. The discussion covers the sustainability, economic benefits, and challenges of implementing these systems on a larger scale, as well as the potential for global impact and decentralisation of manufacturing.

Key Takeaways

Who is Enviro?

Turning stormwater into a renewable resource with a single system to remove trash, litter, sediment, nutrients, seperate oils and remove toxic chemicals.

Hydraulic Separation

Enviro’s technology harnesses hydraulic separation by using the volume of water and the energy in the water to separate the particles. It’s not black magic, it’s science.

Hydrocarbon Test Results

Enviro’s system removes Petroleum Hydrocarbons down to parts per billion from stormwater.

Low Cost Water For Housing

Leo explains how Enviro’s technology can provide clean water for immediate household use while also reducing carbon dioxide through the green corridor process.

Full Lifecycle Costs

Enviro is 40-80% lower cost to own than any other system available in the marketplace.

Cheaper Than Corporation Water

Leo explains how subsidised water using current infrastructure can be a third of the cost of corporation water.

Roadway Water Infrastructure

Fundamentally, every km of roadway could capture enough water to neutralise the heat island effect and provide 200-400L/ water day to the next 30 houses around that roadway.

No Moving Parts

Enviro’s systems do not require any moving parts and are structurally sound for well over 100 years.

Rain Falls For Free

Leo explains the process of what happens to the water that falls free from the sky and how we can make it available and accessible again.

Particle Size Removal

Enviro systems separate particles from stormwater and hold them in a quiescent zone. This technology is unique to Enviro. Leo explains how.

Recyclability

Enviro systems are indefinitely recyclable and replace the need for steel by using green concrete, in turn reducing CO2 production and fostering NDIS work hours.
