H2O Innovation Inc. announced that it was recently awarded two new contracts in Canada and one new contract in the United States, one of which will integrate the Clearlogx® technology. These new contracts bring the company's sales backlog to a record high of $50.8 million, excluding the sales backlog from its specialty products and services business line (PWT, Piedmont and H2O Innovation Maple). The first project has been awarded to the Company by Englishman River Water Service and consists of the design, manufacture and commissioning of a two stage ultrafiltration (UF) system with a total of five trains to treat water from the Englishman River.

Once completed, the system will produce 4.2 MGD (16,000 m3/day) of potable water for the City of Parksville, in British Columbia. Furthermore, the system is expandable to 12.7 MGD (48,000 m3/day) to meet current and future demands of the City. This system is designed with the FiberFlex(TM) skid, an open platform technology developed by H2O Innovation that allows interchangeability between several types of UF modules.

The recently-acquired Clearlogx® technology will also be part of the system in order to monitor and automatically optimize coagulant dose, maximizing the life of the membrane and reducing overall plant operating expenses. The second award is for the pre-selection for supply of a new six (6) trains UF system to treat tertiary effluent from the Valencia Water Reclamation Plant of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. This system will also be designed with the FiberFlex(TM) skid and will produce up to 10.3 MGD (38,989 m3/day) of water to be reused in agricultural applications. Finally, the third contract awarded is for the design, manufacture and commissioning of a wastewater treatment system for the national historic site of Lower Fort Garry in Manitoba.

This system will use the biological Bio-Wheel(TM) process to treat municipal wastewater and provide nutrient removal, at a low operating cost. The system designed for Lower Fort Garry is very sturdy, reliable, simple to operate and will have low energy consumption requirements. The system will treat 7,925 to 15,850 gal/day (30 to 60 m3/day) of wastewater.
