About Bionest

Give water a second life: a priority, a passion

Certifications

As a leader in our field, Bionest effortlessly adapts to the needs of different markets and can easily obtain the necessary approvals and certifications.

In the mid-’90s, Bionest began a research process spanning many years to develop a simple and powerful biological system that reproduces and maintains optimum conditions for domestic wastewater treatment.

In 2003, after conducting a full-scale demonstration project over a 12-month period, Bionest received certification from the Quebec Ministry of Environment for use in residential, commercial, institutional and community applications. Continuing its momentum, the BIONEST system was certified by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ) [Quebec Certification Body] and NSF International.

The numerous certifications and recognition from third parties currently help market the BIONEST system internationally.
