Learn how OWC experts are advancing solutions in water and wastewater systems, including converting organic waste into valuable chemical products through advanced bioprocessing, and improving the detection, characterization, and treatment of PFAS in Canadian water systems.

Advancing Ontario water solutions that create resilient infrastructure
and power Canada’s national priorities.


The Ontario Water Consortium enables water solutions that address the big challenges of today. As the platform for industry, academia, government, and end-users, OWC connects leaders at the forefront of water innovation.


OWC has also created a valuable program whereby technology innovators can engage with a panel of experts to gain insight into their water technology development and commercialization challenges.

Wastewater disinfection is essential for protecting public health and downstream water quality, but conventional control approaches such as flow-pacing struggle to reflect real-world operating conditions. In practice, disinfectant demand varies with changes in hydraulics, water quality, and operational conditions, which are not fully captured by flow alone. This can lead to inefficient dosing, unnecessary chemical use, and inconsistent treatment performance.[...]

Municipal wastewater treatment is under pressure like never before. Flows fluctuate unpredictably, pollutant loads are higher, and communities increasingly demand water reuse solutions. Utilities must maintain consistent treatment performance while reducing energy and chemical use. Traditional membrane systems often struggle under these conditions, particularly when faced with sudden surges or variable solids content.
Fibracast‘s FibrePlate Fusion™ was developed to address these challenges. [...]
