Title:
Commercial demonstration of buoyancy based membrane filtration for produced water recycling
Agreement Number:
1029631
Agreement Value:
$140,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
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.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
The NRC-IRAP Clean Technology Program will support Canadian SMEs in the research and development of sustainable development technologies, up to their commercialization, with the potential to deliver economic and environmental outcomes.
