Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Commercial demonstration of buoyancy based membrane filtration for produced water recycling
1029631
Swirltex builds custom wastewater treatment systems, with a novel membrane treatment technology that achieves ultra-filtered quality water. The mobile units have the capability to produce up to 2,500m3/day of clean water. The solution enables wastewater recycling, reducing fresh water consumption and disposal volumes. Swirltex’s first produced water commercialization project will occur in Northern B.C., treating water produced from the Montney formation. This project will serve as a proof of concept for the treatment solution in terms of quality and capacity, as well as a validation of the re-use business model.

Youth Green:Pilot Testing and Technology Development of Swirltex Lagoon Unit
909826
Swirltex requires an engineer-in-training to assist with the research and development of its proprietary membrane technology. Currently, Swirltex has a commercial scale pilot plant operating in Alberta, which requires full time pilot testing, data collection and detailed design support for upgrades as we learn more about the technology.
In addition, Swirltex requires project administrator to assist with the day-to-day tasks and help management achieve their goals of technology development and investor management.
