Innovations

As part of our commitment to provide water and wastewater solutions, we stay ahead and predict future trends for our customers by leveraging our experience in Research & Development. Our goals are:

To prepare for future regulatory changes or upcoming requirements
To develop innovative products that offer cost benefits, quality improvements and operational efficiencies

We believe that investing in research and development is a requirement in order to stay ahead and predict future trends. This allows our customers to be prepared for future regulatory changes or upcoming requirements. And it allows us to work with partners to develop new and innovative products that offer our customers either cost benefits, quality improvements or operational efficiencies. The research and development projects we are currently working on are as follows:

From municipal to industrial as well as commercial industries applications, AquaTrack™ is a monitoring system device for use in water treatment facility that includes a hardware and software component with connection to all instruments and probes to a single device. The device electronically uploads the collected data to a cloud based database and generates weekly, monthly and annual reports for the customer.

Aquatrack™ can monitor and report on any aspect of your water, including volume, composition, flow and much more. The best of all, you can access Aquatrack™ directly from your phone or tablet, making this ideal for workers on the field as well as office staff.

Monitoring system includes:

Informing of the operator of emergency or other events at the facility
Logging system for which the operator attends the site, thereby tracking samples or preventative maintenance performed at the facility
Asset inventory management, notification of stocks levels (like a chemical or reagents)
Offering a one-click request for resupply
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system

Aqua Clear Blue is a prefabricated modular water and wastewater system. All required components (instruments, tanks, chemicals, piping and valves) are included in a packaged building. The idea is that this packaged WTPs are pre-engineered and designed for a set capacity. The catalogued system for the consumer has a certain “model” with a set price that meets the customers' requirements. This is a packaged Good (Class 9).

How Aqua Clear Blue works?

The piloting process began with oxidation
Followed by media filtration using Greensand Plus / NexxSand
The next stage includes ion exchange to remove trace aesthetic compounds
This was followed by anionic resin capable of color / TOC (total organic carbon) removal
A carbon filter is then employed for polishing
Finally, a small-scale reverse osmosis is piloted for final treatment. This R.O is a two-stage unit that treats the reject water from the first stage a second time to reduce volumes of reject water generated.

Agraponics is a system that uses the natural nutrients from a nearby eutrophic water source to hydrate the plants with nutrient rich water, while circulating the spent water (now oxygenized) back to the source reducing nutrient loading from the source water. The plants are on a vertical growing system within a greenhouse, and are circulated to provide exposure to air and to access natural and/or man-made light supply.

How does it work?
Agraponics system works for thermal treatment of municipal waste, re-capture of thermal heat and electricity conversion for heating of SuperPad under greenhouse, simultaneous removal of nutrients from high-nutrient water. The system, uses waste, makes heat and electricity, grows food, uses nutrients from nutrient-rich water (which is otherwise causing Alberta’s lakes and streams to become eutrophic) and replaces that water with higher quality, higher oxygen water, thereby cleaning up the source.
