With rising water scarcity globally and increased awareness among general public about climate change and the critical importance of environmental conservation, a lot of onus is being laid by governments worldwide on water conservation. The Philippines is no different. As the second most populated country in Southeast Asia, the rapid infrastructure development happening lately across the island nation has resulted in a huge demand for water and water treatment solutions. While the government has thus introduced stringent regulations around handling wastewater, companies too are on the lookout for cleaner, innovative and more efficient ways to handle their waste water. As a result, the demand for quality water treatment solutions is at an all-time high in the Philippines today.
Given such encouraging market conditions, one company that has truly emerged as a champion in the water treatment arena of the Philippines is EHS Bioproducts. Based in Quezon City, EHS Bioproducts was founded in 2007 with a vision to build a clean and green environment by providing economically & ecologically efficient products and services to diverse industries. Started as just a supplier of bio-augmentation products, today, the company has strongly cemented position as one of the leading and go-to water treatment partner in the Philippines for diverse industries, including F&B companies, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, manufacturing plants, farms and many others.
One-stop Shop for Water Treatment Solutions
EHS Bioproducts' solutions portfolio encompasses a wide range of products that include chemicals, bio-augmentation products, media filters, pumps, water meters, blowers, diffusers, and many other equipment, including for personal protection. As one of the company’s primary forte or flagship offering, the bio-augmentation product known as ‘Ecogen’ is a group of friendly bacteria that produces enzymes to help in the water treatment process. When added into the waste treatment system, it not only removes odor but also make the system more efficient as well.
Further, Ecogen can live in both aerobic and anaerobic water treatment systems without the need for excessive dissolved oxygen, facilitating the design of smaller blowers. Most importantly, it has proven to treat 4x more solid waste at the same cost as compared to other bio-augmenters in the market, with Ecogen added to 200 liters of water easily covering 10 tons or approximately 80 sq. meters of garbage.
Today, most companies are struggling due to lack of proper documentation, inefficient customer support post installation or even operating their sewage treatment plants for many years without a discharge permit due to their poor design. Well aware of this industry-wide challenge, EHS Bioproducts also provides services such as Design & Installation and Operation & Maintenance of water treatment plants as well. This includes compliance assistance with all necessary documentation DENR, EMB, LLDA, LGUs and ECC, along with training their engineers & operators, 24x7 support helpline and conducting routine checkups as well. Due to such diverse spectrum of products and services being offered, the company has earned the reputation as a one-stop destination for all waste treatment needs.
Explaining further, Luisa Asprec, Managing Director, EHS Bioproducts says, “Companies from each industry have different water treatment requirements based on their use cases. While some need a pump or blower, others may just need an enzyme to treat their water. Be it water for swimming pool, wastewater, sewage water or even just drinking water, our sole objective is to be a total solution company for anything pertaining to water treatment.
Our very product & service portfolio is developed specifically to cater to this varying requirement!”.
Prioritizing Clients’ Long-term Success The USP
Customer experience is at the heart of EHS Bioproducts' business model, wherein it leaves no stone unturned to ensure that the clients get nothing short of ‘the best’ in terms of service quality. In light of this, the company’s client engagement process begins with a plant visit to get a clear understanding of their business and the type of water that’d be fed into the treatment system. Post this, assessment of water quality is made either through actual tests or based on experience and average industry standards, followed by gathering information about the volume of water, its flow rate, water usage pattern. Based on all these factors, EHS Bioproducts accordingly designs a custom treatment system as per their desired setup specification, whether above ground, below ground or partially submerged. While EHS Bioproducts does indeed excel at providing custom solutions specific to client requirements, it also provides recommendations to companies who are unclear about the type of solution or service that’d rightly suit their needs.
In cases where clients already have an existing treatment plant and only want to improve its performance, EHS Bioproducts not only provides operation and maintenance service, but also makes necessary changes to their system using the existing equipment itself in order to derive optimum results even without having to shell-out additional monies. To further assist its customers, the company also provides them with the flexibility to either opt for 24x7 maintenance, weekly, monthly or 8-hour system. Also, since most of its treatment systems are modular in nature, clients will only have to add more tanks if they’re to expand their setup without the need to change or remove anything from the current setup.
“Understanding client needs is the key to coming up with a good, reliable and effective system. Thus, there are even instances where we’ve advised our clients to only use bio-augmentation products or an additional blower since their wastewater volume is small. Similarly, if the effluent volume is large enough, we advise them to add additional filtration systems and reuse the treated water. This way, we always strive to find solutions that are both ecofriendly as well as affordable. We also regularly attend exhibitions, trainings and other industry events to adopt any new technique or technology into our systems to ensure that we provide the value for money for our customers”.

Owing to the industry-best practices that it has in place, along with its customer-centric business model, EHS Bioproducts boasts of an elite clientele comprising of numerous top hotel chains, semiconductor companies, car manufacturers across the Philippines. Going forward, the company plans to foray into Mindanao and further strengthen its presence in the Visayas region.
