Since its start in 2014, Mivanor has cleaned 1.5 billion liters of industrial wastewater — the equivalent of hundreds of Olympic-size swimming pools.

– This is contaminated water that otherwise would have flowed straight into nature or into municipal treatment plants, says CEO Tor Erik Moan.

He adds that it’s enjoyable to finally put numbers on what the company has worked toward over the past decade, but emphasizes that this is only the beginning.

– Major Changes

The year 2025 has offered new opportunities for Mivanor. In August, the company announced that it was acquired by Cubility. The companies now share offices and have become well acquainted with each other over recent months.

– We both work with demanding requirements and parameters related to water discharge, and there’s much to learn from each other. Cubility brings experience, resources, and new perspectives that strengthen our development, says Moan.

At the same time as the change in ownership, Mivanor has strengthened its team with four new engineers and a new CEO. They are expected to contribute to the continued development of the company and have already become an integrated part of the company’s work.

Founder and former CEO Robert Tarasz, who earlier this year transitioned into a pure technical role within the company, reflects on the significant changes:

– The past year has been about positioning the company for future development. With new owners, more people on the team, and a clearer distinction between technical and management roles, we are very well prepared to deliver good solutions for water treatment in the years ahead.

Three Major Projects Across the Country

Over the course of the year, Mivanor has been involved in three major projects. Among them is a contract with RIR IKS for treating leachate from the landfill on the Romsdal Peninsula, where the solution is designed to handle the entire water volume before discharge and meet stricter water quality requirements.

At the same time, the company is working on its third project in cooperation with Nordic Bulk, this time related to the treatment and reuse of process water at the soil-washing facility NGIR in Gulen Municipality.

In the Oslo region, Mivanor was chosen as the water treatment provider for the FRANO soil-washing plant at Bånkall. It is one of the largest facilities the company has delivered, with high requirements for capacity, flexibility, and stable operation. It is designed to handle 80,000 liters of water per hour.
