What Clients Need Help Solving
High-intent visitors often arrive with an immediate trigger. Here is how BioTerraVa addresses the six most common wastewater challenges we see.
Flow exceeding design, I/I infiltration, or population growth pushing your plant past its rated capacity. We conduct BioWin process simulation and hydraulic profiling to find 20–35% hidden capacity before recommending capital expansion.
Capacity Solutions →Forever chemicals moving from emerging concern to regulated reality. We build source-control programs, sampling strategies, and treatment selection roadmaps for Ontario municipalities and industries.
PFAS Strategy Guide →High COD, heavy metals, variable pH, and toxic organics overwhelming standard biological systems. We design treatment trains with DAF, MBBR/MBR, AOP, and mineral-based media for 90–99% pollutant removal.
Industrial Treatment →Rising hauling costs, landfill restrictions, and NASM plan pressures. Our circular technology platform converts biosolids into biochar, wood vinegar, and syngas — turning a cost center into a revenue stream.
Resource Recovery →Packaged plants failing due to operator turnover, harsh winters, or lack of local support. We design for operability: full automation, remote monitoring, and structured operator certification programs.
Rural Systems →Wet-weather overflows, plant bypass events, or emergency capacity needs. Our EMAOP advanced oxidation units mobilize within 72 hours with real-time compliance monitoring and senior P.Eng. oversight.
Emergency Response →Solutions by Client Type

What Makes BioTerraVa Different
BioTerraVa is not a conventional engineering firm. We combine senior P.Eng. delivery with patent-pending circular water technology.
Four provisional patents filed April 2026 — BOFS Valorization, VASCGBC-M composite media, Terra BPC biosolids conversion and an integrated circular treatment system — all at TRL 4 bench-scale validation at the University of Western Ontario.
Every engagement is delivered personally by Medhat Gad, P.Eng., PMP® — a senior civil engineer with 36+ years across 12+ industrial sectors and four countries.
Four modules: 5,000 m³/d, 20,000 m³/d, 50,000 m³/d and a mobile truck-mounted unit at 30 m³ — designed for rapid deployment and minimal civil works.
EMAOP advanced oxidation units deploy for WWTP overflow, overload, and CSO events. Real-time compliance monitoring with senior P.Eng. oversight.

Selected Project Experience
Municipal — Mega Infrastructure
Delta Region, Egypt
Comprehensive wastewater treatment infrastructure for the Kitchener Drainage Canal — one of the world's largest treatment complexes. The project eliminated wastewater discharge volume from 10 million m³/day to 700,000 m³/day through integrated treatment systems including 12 industrial mobile WWTP units, 92 village mobile WWTP units using INNPT nanotechnology, open canal treatment systems, and ICEBT biological treatment technology. Designed for full metropolitan capacity with domestic and industrial flow segregation.
700,000 m³/day — 1.2 million residents served
Resource Recovery — Circular Economy
Cairo, Egypt
Landmark contract with the Greater Cairo Sewage Authority to divert 140,000 tonnes per year of dried sewage sludge from landfill disposal to alternative fuel for cement facilities including Lafarge Egypt. The program creates a circular economy model transforming waste into energy recovery value while eliminating methane emissions from landfill decomposition. BioTerraVa designed the sludge stabilization, drying, and fuel-grade preparation protocol.
140,000 t/year dried sludge diverted
Rural Communities — Mobile Technology
Multiple Governorates, Egypt
Deployment of 92+ INNPT mobile wastewater treatment units across rural governorates including Fayoum, Demiatte, Sharqiyah, Giza, Beni Suef, Minya, Assiut and Sohag. Each 100 m³/day truck-mounted unit serves villages of 500–5,000 residents with nano-particle chemical treatment achieving >90% pathogen, bacteria, and heavy metals removal. Endorsed by the Minister of Environment (2016) and witnessed by multiple governors. The program eliminated open sewage discharge across 61 villages and 21 centers.
