Through its Sustainable Development Technology Canada funded project, Pathogen Detection Systems will integrate its microbiological water monitoring system with sophisticated water treatment optimization software, reducing time by 50 to 80%, reducing costs and improving test integrity. This will bring both water and greenhouse gas environmental benefits by improving water plant performance, reducing energy consumption and decreasing toxic water treatment by-products.
David Anderson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board, said: “By investing in Canadian technologies such as Pathogen Detection Systems' clean water technology, our Government is helping to stimulate a new green economy in Canada, creating jobs and helping to protect the environment.”
