IntensiCarb wins Bronze Project Innovation Award during the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition
This solids intensification technology enables more than quadrupling anaerobic treatment capacity within existing infrastructure.
LONDON, ONTARIO, August 16, 2024 —Trojan Technologies is proud to announce that IntensiCarb™ has been honored with the prestigious bronze IWA Project Innovation Award in the category of Breakthroughs in Research and Development at the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition in Toronto, Canada, on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.
The award recognizes groundbreaking research developed and led by Trojan Technologies, USP Technologies, Brown and Caldwell, University of Western Ontario, Toronto Metropolitan University, Great Lake Water Authority (GLWA), and Dynamita; with funding support from The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), and Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGEN).
IntensiCarb — a “bolt-on” intensification technology, compatible with existing infrastructure—represents a significant advancement in the efficiency and sustainability of solids treatment. This innovative technology combines vacuum evaporation with anaerobic digestion or fermentation, allowing for more than quadrupling treatment capacity within existing infrastructure. “This award recognizes the amazing work done by an exceptionally collaborative team that has seen very promising results in the lab. We are excited for the piloting work that is about to get underway.” said Chris Sheculski, Product Innovation Manager at Trojan Technologies.
The innovative anaerobic digestion intensification technology will be piloted with GLWA in Detroit, MI early next year.
