CLEARWATER, FL, UNITED STATES, October 2, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Gridwater, a subsidiary of Water On Demand, has unveiled its first treat-in-place unit powered by Omega Liquid Waste Solutions at the WEQ Fair, a prominent industry event taking place from October 5 to 7 at the Nashville Fairgrounds. This marks a significant step in the collaboration between the two companies, which signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on October 1.
The WEQ Fair is a crucial platform for contractors and municipalities to explore innovative technologies and operational strategies. This year, the fair features 79 exhibitors, showcasing a wide array of equipment and services. Gridwater's presence at the fair highlights its commitment to advancing the liquid-waste management industry through strategic partnerships.
According to Ken Berenger, CEO and co-founder of Water On Demand and co-founder, president, and executive chairman of Gridwater, the partnership with Omega Liquid Waste Solutions is poised to revolutionize the way liquid-waste treatment equipment is deployed.
The new Gridwater platform offers a unique approach to deploying Omega's equipment. Instead of selling as many trucks as possible, the partnership focuses on placing the right units in the right places with the right operators. This model is designed to prove the concept in the field and open the broader commercial relationship the companies intend to build. The first five units are part of a pilot program scheduled to begin in 2027, with more detailed agreements already in place.
In previous years, an operator who wanted this class of technology had to invest approximately half a million dollars to purchase the equipment. Gridwater's platform changes this dynamic by providing a more accessible solution.
The WEQ Fair serves as a vital venue for industry professionals to witness the practical applications of these technologies.
Gridwater's platform is designed to develop an operating standard for company-operated and approved locally operated liquid-waste service deployments. This includes providing operating standards, performance reporting, business-development support, and service-market management. The company's goal is to create a more efficient and sustainable liquid-waste management system, benefiting both the environment and the communities it serves.
The partnership between Gridwater and Omega Liquid Waste Solutions represents a significant shift in the industry. By combining Gridwater's operational expertise with Omega's cutting-edge technology, the companies aim to set new standards for liquid-waste treatment and management. As the pilot program moves forward, the industry can look forward to a more collaborative and innovative approach to addressing liquid-waste challenges.
