Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Forward Water Technologies Inc.

$115,630.00

Food Product Concentration by Forward Osmosis Pilot Unit Development and Testing

FY 2018-19 · 2018-11-05

Summary
Forward Water Technologies will use a proprietary, food safe forward osmosis technology to dehydrate foodstuffs. The technology revolves around using a “draw solution” that is non-toxic, and is capable of dewatering food products to the same extent as a low heat evaporator. This project will scale up the process to a small engineering pilot level in order to begin demonstration work with potential clients.

Description
Forward Water Technologies will use a proprietary, food safe forward osmosis technology to dehydrate foodstuffs. The technology revolves around using a “draw solution” that is non-toxic, and is capable of dewatering food products to the same extent as a low heat evaporator. This project will scale up the process to a small engineering pilot level in order to begin demonstration work with potential clients.
Description (French)
Forward Water Technologies utilisera une technologie sécuritaire brevetée d’osmose directe pour la déshydratation des aliments. La technologie repose sur l’utilisation d’une solution d’extraction « draw solution » non toxique, capable de déshydrater les produits alimentaires de la même manière qu’un évaporateur à basse température. Ce projet étendra le processus à un petit projet pilote d'ingénierie afin de pouvoir commencer les travaux de démonstration avec des clients potentiels.
