MONTREAL, CANADA, Oct. 10, 2013 -- GLV Inc. (Group GLV) announced that a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Canton, Ohio will be upgraded by its business unit Ovivo, delivering the largest membrane bioreactor (MBR) in the United States.

The projected start date for commissioning the new plant is planned to be 2015 with a completion due in 2017. The project total costs are about $90 million, of which $28 million are for the Ovivo's MBR system.

"Since the 1990s, or even earlier, MBR solutions have been recognized as best available treatment technology from an environmental standpoint.

"Now, as the result of numerous system and equipment innovations, this project and many others are signaling that MBR is the technology of today and the technology of the future."
