Soneera Water Canada partners with the Town of Unity
January 28, 2016 Soneera Water Canada Ltd and the Town of Unity are pleased to announce an agreement between the Town of Unity, Saskatchewan and Soneera Water to upgrade the sewage water treatment facilities for the town. Soneera Water will install a waste water treatment system in Unity that will deliver clean water into Sink Lake, enhancing the water quality of the existing treatment ponds. Working in concert with Saskatoon based civil engineering firm McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd, Soneera Water Canada expects to commission the system in summer 2016. Soneera Water Canada’s CEO, Darrell Behan said: The Town of Unity has recognized a requirement to upgrade the sewage treatment plant to facilitate growth. Soneera Water Canada Ltd offers a modular solution which can handle an 80% growth, as offered, and be economically expanded as required in the future. Soneera Water Canada wishes to thank the council and staff of Unity for the opportunity to partner with them in their efforts to grow the town. Soneera Water is delighted to partner with the Town of Unity to introduce this exciting technology into the Canadian municipal market. The system, which utilizes electroflocculation to remove contaminants was invented, in Australia, by Dr Vivian Robinson. Dr Robinson was present in Unity today for the official signing of the agreement. The Memfree© technology invented by Dr Robinson has enjoyed significant acceptance in Australia and was introduced into North America in 2014. The technology behind our solution is unique, since it offers a truly ‘green’ option for the efficient treatment of waste water. The units operate without filters in the primary treatment cells. Despite that it cleans the water to nano filter level, removing all but the smallest pollutants such as salt. The automated systems are monitored remotely, removing the need for expensive maintenance or on-site monitoring. The only chemical used in the process is acid that is applied, only if required, to neutralize the ph of alkaline infeed water. No other chemicals are used in the process and electricity consumption is very low. Both of these are good for the environment. After proving the technology in a variety of waste water verticals, Soneera Water LLC commenced marketing the product in Q4 2015 in the USA. In recognition of the importance of the Canadian market Soneera Canada Ltd was established in November 2015, with registered offices in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Geoff Hukins, Soneera Canada’s COO said: I can’t stress how excited we are to enter this market. We have partnered with McElhanney for engineering services as the first step towards building a strong local presence. We have invited the WSA to maintain an intimate involvement with the project and have committed to openly share progress throughout the trial phase. Pursuing local manufacture will be high on our list of to-do’s as soon as we can gain critical mass to support the investment. In the interim we...
