The AirBreather removes the need for chemical pre-treatment and reduces wastewater volumes safely through evaporation.
Description (French)
L’AirBreather de Saltworks est un appareil novateur qui s’attaque à un gros problème de l’industrie pétrolière et gazière : l’élimination des eaux usées de manière efficace, sûre et moins coûteuse. L’AirBreather élimine la nécessité d’un traitement chimique préliminaire et réduit le volume des eaux usées de manière sécuritaire par l’évaporation.
Expected Results
The NRC-IRAP Clean Technology Program will support Canadian SMEs in the research and development of sustainable development technologies, up to their commercialization, with the potential to deliver economic and environmental outcomes.
Expected Results (French)
Le Programme Technologies propres du PARI-CNRC appuiera les PME canadiennes dans la recherche et le développement de technologies du développement durable, jusqu’à leur commercialisation, susceptibles de produire des résultats économiques et environnementaux.
