Cambrian Innovation, a commercial provider of distributed wastewater and resource recovery solutions, successfully acquired Baswood, an expert in technology-based wastewater and biosolids management. The new partnership will accelerate Cambrian’s vision to treat industry as an ecosystem — extracting precious resources, like clean energy and clean water, from wastewater. Using the companies’ combined and complementary technologies, Cambrian will feature more comprehensive and versatile solutions that can be applied across industries as it continues to innovate toward a more sustainable water preservation system in the face of global water scarcity.
With this acquisition, Cambrian doubled its number of installations worldwide and expanded its customer base. The company will also continue expansion in residential and resort development with Discovery Land Company.
Baswood customers will benefit from Cambrian’s suite of compatible solutions and its ability to optimize existing Baswood systems within its robust research and development lab. Additionally, prospective customers can reduce wastewater management costs through Cambrian’s service-based offering, the Water-Energy Purchase Agreement® (WEPA). The first-of-its-kind financing platform provides wastewater treatment and resource recovery as a monthly service with no hefty upfront costs.
“One site at a time, we are changing the way wastewater is viewed and managed, treating it not as waste, but as a source of clean energy and reusable water,” says Cambrian founder and CEO Matthew Silver. “Partnering with Baswood means even more solutions, more expertise, a broader customer base, and a greater positive impact.”
