CarboNet founders win Entrepreneur of the Year Award

The foursome were included with eight other Pacific winners in Deloitte’s annual rankings of the best operators in Canada.

CarboNet was the only company to have all four cofounders receive the award, certainly a testament to their cooperation and collaboration, and possibly also their refusal to single out one member above another [Ed.: This behaviour is not necessarily reflected when a box of donuts is on hand.]

New: SimplePrime Coagulants

SimplePrime launches with PAC and ACH, highly-charged inorganic aluminium coagulants ideal for wastewater, clarification, and drinking water.

Notably, SimplePrime PAC is made with recycled R/O reject water, making it one of the few choices for ESG-minded companies looking to hit zero liquid discharge.

Dewatering a major sewer line

When a main sewer line of a large municipality reached capacity, an alternate line was built and needed dewatering for the trenches.

CarboNet was added to the project.

Here’s what happened.

Lagoon Dredging in Ontario, Canada

CarboNet chemistry was recently applied on a large municipal dredging project outside of the nation’s capital.

Thom Fornoville, CarboNet Director of Commercial Development, noted this was the first application of SimpleFloc using geotextiles. “Geotextile dewatering is a great fit for our chemistry. It removes make-down, drastically cuts PAM and concerns about breaching the operating envelope, and can reduce manpower on the job by 50%.”
