Markets, Applications, & Goals
Markets
The Advanced Aeration Group (AA) operates in certain targeted markets throughout the world. The measure of its success lies in the ever-growing network of Licensed Technology Providers (LTP) in these markets. See Business Opportunities.
AAI’s LTPs Operate in
- Specific Market Segments
- In a specific Territory
- Serve a specific Application
Each Market has two or more applications and each application has a set of clearly defined goals which aeration must address. A goal of aeration common to all markets is the elimination of odors. VBT™ achieves this, and additional goals, by supporting aerobic bacterial metabolism as opposed to the more common, and inefficient, odor producing anaerobic consumption of organic waste.
Below is a listing of the markets within which AA is currently operating through the LTP network. The listing illustrates the versatility of VBT™ in meeting regulatory, environmental, and social needs within wastewater management.
