The foursome were included with six other Pacific winners in EY'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.]
We’ve launched a line of inorganic coagulants called SimplePrime. They’re optimized to work with our flocculants, and simplify life for crews.
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.
The Canadian government has awarded CarboNet $1.7m to commercialize a 100% biodegradable flocculant.
The PacifiCan program invests in high-growth, high-impact companies and awarded $14m to seven companies in total.
When a main sewer line of a large municipality reached capacity, an alternate line was built and needed dewatering for the trenches.
Unfortunately, a complex mix of four chemicals was unable to hit the discharge limit and, with constant adjustments slowing down construction, was driving up project costs.
CarboNet was added to the project.
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%.”
CarboNet ranked #7 in the Companies to Watch competition.
CarboNet CEO Barry Yates and COO Bill Schonbrun were on hand in Toronto to accept an award, with Yates noting that the only thing moving faster than the Fast 50 was water insecurity. Some chuckled.
