Environmental Commitment
Our environmental commitment
Our centrifuges help municipalities and industry treat water and handle biosolids. We hold our own work to the same standard. Archer Separation’s Environmental Policy (Rev. 0, November 2026) sets out what we do and the targets we report against each year.

What we do
- Remote monitoring first. Most of the centrifuges we support are connected to us through edge servers and send operating data every 5 seconds. Our in-house AI monitoring server watches every connected machine and alerts the plant and our technical staff, so most issues are solved without a site visit.
- Lower-carbon travel. We run no vehicle fleet. Four of our six employees drive fully electric cars and one does not drive at all, so four of the five cars our team use are electric, charged at our workplace charger on BC’s largely hydroelectric grid. We meet by video where we can.
- Efficient equipment. We size machines, motors and drives to the duty, offer energy recovery and premium-efficiency motors, and set polymer doses by bench testing so plants use less chemical.
- Refurbish, reuse, recycle. We rebuild centrifuges and wear parts and return them to service, reuse crates and pallets, and recycle paper, plastics and electronics.
- A lean office. LED lighting, lights and heating off every evening and weekend, green cleaning products, and a paperless office: all records, drawings and manuals are kept electronically.
- Safe handling. Our staff are WHMIS trained, and used oils and greases from our service work go to licensed recyclers.
Our targets
| Target | Status, 2026 |
|---|---|
| At least 66 % of company-reimbursed vehicles electric from 2027 | 80 %: four of the five cars our team use are electric |
| A remote check before every non-emergency site visit | In place |
| Office electricity and gas at or below the 2026 baseline | 2026 baseline being recorded |
| No recyclable paper or plastic sent to landfill | In place |
| Publish this summary every year | First summary, November 2026 |
We will update this page each year with our results.
