Wetland Treatment Systems (WTS)
A Division of Sharp Management
A specialized division of Sharp Management Inc., dedicated to engineered natural wetland treatment systems that solve complex wastewater challenges using world-leading MSR™ technology.
WTS provides advanced natural-based wastewater treatment solutions built on proven microbial-soil-reed (MSR™) technology. With decades of engineering experience and successful projects across Newfoundland & Labrador and abroad, we design systems that are long-lasting, low-maintenance, and environmentally restorative — giving municipalities and industries a reliable, sustainable alternative to conventional treatment methods.
What We Do
Engineered Natural Wetland Treatment Systems
WTS designs, engineers, and implements natural-based wastewater treatment systems using MSR™ (Microbial–Soil–Reed) technology. These systems replace or enhance traditional treatment methods, offering high-performance results without chemicals, mechanical equipment, or high operating costs. Every solution is designed to meet regulatory requirements while restoring natural ecosystems and improving long-term environmental resilience.
Municipal & Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Sustainable solutions for sewage, stormwater, sludge, and complex industrial effluents.
Engineered Wetland System Design
Full design services including studies, pilots, construction drawings, and turnkey systems.
Natural Infrastructure Integration
Zero-energy, zero-chemical systems using engineered soil and reed technology.
Long-Life, Low-Maintenance Treatment
Systems that operate reliably for 75–100 years with minimal upkeep.
Why Engineered Wetlands Work
Sustainable Natural Infrastructure
Engineered wetlands use natural microbial and plant processes to treat wastewater with minimal environmental impact. They reduce energy use, emissions, and long-term ecological footprint.
Zero Electricity & Zero Chemicals
Our systems operate fully passively—no pumps, no power, no chemical additives. This makes them safer, more reliable, and significantly more cost-effective over their full lifecycle.
Low to Zero Operational Costs
With no mechanical components and little required maintenance, operating costs remain exceptionally low. Wetlands continue performing for decades with minimal ongoing effort.
High Treatment Performance
MSR™ technology delivers stable, high-performance treatment outcomes—consistently achieving tertiary-level CBOD, TSS, ammonia, and pathogen reduction, even in extreme climates.
