IntensiCarb wins Bronze Project Innovation Award during the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition

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.

Water industry experts from across the globe convene at the IWA World Water Congress to network, exchange ideas, and learn about the latest challenges and solutions in the ever-evolving water industry. The IWA Project Innovation Awards are a testament to the creative solutions and long-term value that innovative projects bring to the water sector.

“Trojan Technologies has always relied on sound science and engineering principles to solve complex water issues, and our approach to this project was no different,” explains Katrina Williams, VP Innovation & Technology, Trojan Technologies. “The development of IntensiCarb is a testament to what can be accomplished through a collaboration of diverse and experienced R&D teams, and we are grateful to this dedicated group of people for making this success possible. We also thank IWA for recognizing the effort involved in developing IntensiCarb, a product which has the potential to make a lasting impact for both our customers and the environment.”
