Island Water Technologies (IWT), a leader in wastewater treatment solutions, is proud to announce its selection as the recipient of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Engineering Achievement for their REGEN Solar Powered Wastewater Treatment System.
The award was presented to the IWT team on Thursday, May 4TH at the Governors House in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
This recognition comes for the work carried out by IWT with the Canadian Military to design and develop a world-first, solar powered, mobile wastewater treatment system. This solution was designed to be suitable for disaster relief applications and remote military bases. Working in partnership with Aspin Kemp & Associates and Atlantic Advance Power Technologies they successfully delivered the solution to the Canadian military base in Gagetown, NB in June of 2016.
The REGEN wastewater solution is unique in that it has the ability for self-powered operation, the lowest energetic footprint, uses no chemicals, is easily deployable and has the ability for remote control and automation. Modular, solar powered wastewater treatment can be an enabling technology that allows for cost effective on-site processing of wastewater for remote, rural and rapidly developing urban communities.
The Engineers PEI Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Engineering Achievement recognizes an outstanding engineering project involving Engineers PEI members. The award is presented annually, during National Engineering Month, to an individual, team, company, government department or consortium of Professional Engineers, who through original achievement in the application of engineering principles, creative accomplishment in the application of engineering principles and excellence in engineering design, demonstrates a high quality of Professional Engineering standards. The project should enhance the image of the profession, show economic benefit and highlight engineering leadership in the practice of engineering.
Dr. Patrick Kiely, CEO Island Water Technologies
“This award is a great honor for us. It recognizes our technological abilities and supports the application of our product in several different remote applications. We are very proud to have had this opportunity to work with the Canadian military and showcase our REGEN product.”
Major Luc Doré (Directorate of Land Requirements 7-4, Canadian Army)
“I feel privileged to be able to support Canadian businesses; the Build in Canada Innovation Program offers us the opportunity to test cutting-edge innovations that could potentially be beneficial to our future operations.
Particularly, technologies such as the REGEN system from Island Water Technologies offers us the opportunity to bring economical and tactical benefits by reducing energy consumption, waste, and the environmental footprint of our military compounds in operations. One of the main advantages is the potential to reduce the number of soldiers in harms way who would have been otherwise required to provide logistical support“
