About us
Green Revolution
through Sustainable Solutions
Avantu was formed in 2020 in Canada to bring the magic of approved scientifically selected bacteria blends to the global market. Our roots are in Africa, where our co-founder, Lohmann Beams discovered the power of good bacteria. He worked for many years researching and refining the bacteria blends to give the best results in some of the worst wastewater and hazardous contamination conditions imaginable.
At Avantu our aim is to cleanse the World of water impurities biologically, one waterbody at a time. It is a lofty goal for sure. When you live and breathe this vision like we do, goals soon become achievable.
Our bacterial blends provide solutions for contaminated water and weed infested waterways resultant from mismanagement of septic tanks, wastewater treatment works, and agriculture runoff. We also provide solutions for industrial farming effluent problems as well as fish farms end festering lakes.

We Know bacteria
There are an estimated ten quintillion bacterial species(1019) in existence. The painstaking work of identifying, testing, and cultivating effective bacterial strains is not for the faint of heart. To start with, you need the intestinal fortitude to deal with the horrendous smells one encounters in a latrine, pit toilet or a pig farm. Lohmann Beams, one of our founders at Avantu Water, is well accustomed to confronting odours. Lohmann began his association with bacterial strains back in 1995, helping the Sir Seretse Khama Barracks in Botswana with their sewage problems. Since then, he has worked in over 20 countries, solving the most challenging water contamination issues.
Avantu’s products have been tried and tested in many environments and locations. From Fish farms to Pig Farms; from Pit Toilets to Dams; On Mosquitoes and on Water Hyacinth; from China to South Africa. Now in the Americas. Why? Because they work.
We are out to save the World, one waterbody at a time.
Yes, it is a lofty goal! Globally, thousands of people die every day from waterborne diseases. Sadly, many of the same rivers and lakes that people drink from, are fed by untreated sewage. Our products attack the problem and have saved many lives from this deadly scourge. We love coming to work, knowing we are doing our bit to make the World’s environment that much more sustainable.
