Canadian Military Validates Solar Powered Wastewater Treatment

This article relates to SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.

“SUMMARY – Solar Powered Wastewater Treatment

Self-powered on-site processing of wastewater provides a unique capability for distributed wastewater mangement. This holds the potential to reduce haulage costs and eliminates resources typically required to collect and haul wastewater from remote locations.

The REGEN 20 solar powered wastewater treatment solution integrates technological advances that significantly reduce the cost and energetic input of the wastewater treatment process. Integrating renewable energy and advances in wastewater treatment with improvements in remote automation significantly reduces the inefficiencies in current wastewater treatment processes.

At IWT we offer this validated solution for remote work camps, humanitarian and military applications.

The Canadian Military completed testing with Colonel Nicolas Pilon stating:

“The system was fully powered by solar energy, typically drawing only 2.5 kWh/m3. Overall, the system required only minimal operation and maintenace and exhibited great potential””
