Technical support from Invest NI enabled the company to produce a prototype, undertake laboratory testing and secure CE Marking for the product.
Business owner James Mullan said: "We recognised the market opportunity to develop a domestic wastewater treatment system that would produce effluent water at an efficiency rating which is not currently available in Northern Ireland.
"Invest NI support enabled us to develop a prototype and secure the patent and CE marking accreditations we needed to commercialise our innovative system.
"The orders secured in Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man to date is an encouraging and will help us leverage additional sales among our target customer base."
