Lake Forest-based M2 Renewables Inc. is among The Artemis Project's Top 50 Water Companies Competition winners.

The program recognizes organizations that are developing cutting-edge solutions to help solve today's water problems; the wastewater treatment and renewable energy firm earned the honor for its technology platforms. Its M2 Renewables system improves the effectiveness of wastewater treatment by consuming less space and power while requiring minimal human resources to operate. The result is a reduced cost and lower environmental footprint compared to conventional methods.

"The Artemis Top 50 is the water industry's benchmark for recognizing innovation that will matter. It identifies the entrepreneurs that are applying technology to meet the world's water challenges," said Laura Shenkar, principal at The Artemis Project. "Water tech is quickly becoming an engine for economic development and job growth. With these awards, we strive to identify the companies offering the most-promising technologies coming onto the market."

There are three components to the company’s process: the Solids Separator, Modular Filter and Energy Conversion System. M2 Renewables offers its technology to governmental agencies, municipalities, wastewater treatment authorities and developers.

"M2R (M2 Renewables) is committed to providing cost-effective, environmentally sustainable solutions for the urgent global needs for new and deteriorating wastewater treatment systems," said M2 Renewables CEO Gerhard Forstner. "We are honored to be selected by The Artemis Project Top 50 as one of the Most Innovative Water Technologies of 2011. This selection validates that our team is on the right track to revolutionize the process of wastewater treatment and provide a source of renewable energy."
