The Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce today awarded AAA Wastewater, a leading Dayton- and Cincinnati-Area provider of residential, commercial and municipal septic systems services, its 2014 Raj Soin Award for Innovation. The award ceremony took place at the Chamber’s annual meeting at Sinclair Community College.
Since 2007, the Raj Soin Family and Soin International and the Education & Public Improvement foundation (EPI) of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce have collaborated to offer the Soin Award for Innovation. The Soin Award is designed to identify, honor and financially assist a company in the Dayton region which demonstrates the historical innovative spirit in the Dayton community.
The Soin Award recipient best demonstrates this entrepreneurial spirit through a recently introduced or pending introduction of a unique product or service that will have the ability to sustain long-term growth for the company, increase local employment and assist in the creation of economic prosperity within the region.
AAA Wastewater was selected as the Soin Award recipient for its inventive and eco-friendly methods of turning wastewater and brown grease into valuable and natural recovered resources. Currently, the company collects and processes approximately 2.7 million gallons of septage and 360,000 gallons of grease trap waste annually. The company is capable of significantly accelerating the recovery of nutrients and resources from septage, including nitrogen, phosphorus and oils that should be recovered and reused in an environmentally and fiscally responsible way.
In 2011, AAA Wastewater’s president, Tim DeHart, officially renamed the company’s wastewater treatment plant as the Resource Recovery Center. Currently, the company is in the development stage of an innovative new propriety formula and method that will significantly improve the resource recovery process.
“We’re honored to be selected for the Soin Award for Innovation,” said DeHart. “We believe that being good stewards of water is one of the most important issues of our time, and we’re proud our impact on the local community and our industry is being recognized.”
AAA Wastewater employs 15 people, and expects to be able to add three to five employees over the next three years.
