London, Ontario teams up with water tech companies to accelerate innovation
In 2014, the City of London cut the ribbon of a new research and development facility at their Greenway wastewater treatment plant. The City — in collaboration with the Ontario Water Consortium (OWC) and Western University — transformed an unused building into a site where water technology companies can test new systems in a real-world setting. Here, in secure, privately partitioned bays, innovators can access up to 4,500 cubic metres of flow a day, drawn from anywhere in the treatment [...]
Breaking down petroleum pollution
How Ontario’s researchers are transforming the water sector Taking promising research from the lab bench to the marketplace isn’t a simple journey. But with a little help, investigators at Ontario universities are commercializing their discoveries. And the technologies they’ve developed — from high-tech sensors to artificial intelligence and nano-catalysts — promise to change water monitoring, distribution and treatment, both locally and globally. In Part Five, the final article in this mini series, learn how Dr. Frank Gu's research team at [...]
Transforming the water sector with sensor technology
How Ontario’s researchers are transforming the water sector Taking promising research from the lab bench to the marketplace isn’t a simple journey. But with a little help, investigators at Ontario universities are commercializing their discoveries. And the technologies they’ve developed — from high-tech sensors to artificial intelligence and nano-catalysts — promise to change water monitoring, distribution and treatment, both locally and globally. In Part Four of this mini series, learn about how McMaster University’s Dr. Ravi Selvaganapathy, Canada Research Chair [...]
