2O Innovation Inc has been awarded six new contracts, together worth C$14 million, mainly for the supply of drinking water systems to municipal customers. The contracts include the design, manufacture and commissioning of a complete drinking water system for the town of Innisfil in Ontario. The ultrafiltration system (UF) will have an initial capacity of 38 000 m3/day (10 MGD) and will employ H2O Innovation’s FiberFlex skids, allowing interchangeability between different types of UF membrane modules. The system treats surface water with six trains. The first four trains are used for primary treatment of the surface water while the remaining two produce drinking water from the backwash water generated from the first four trains. In Texas, H2O Innovation will design, manufacture and commission a reverse osmosis system to treat surface water post microfiltration for the Possum Kingdom project in Abilene. H2O Innovation will also design, manufacture and commission an 11 355 m3/day reverse osmosis system to treat brackish water for Craven County in North Carolina. H2O Innovation has been awarded two other projects in Western Canada. The first is for the design, manufacture and commissioning of three integrated ultrafiltration and nanofiltration systems (UF-NF) using H2O Innovation’s FiberFlex skid.
