Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.
Forward Water Technologies CEO Howie Honeyman joined Proactive to share an outlook for 2023 after the company made some major strides in 2022. Honeyman explained more about the company’s key business with its patented Forward Osmosis technology. Honeyman also talks about other sectors where its technology can have a major impact.
Forward Water Technologies (TSXV:FWTC)) helps in the reduction of environmental impact of lithium mining companies and other industries through innovative wastewater treatment technology that enables industrial operations to reduce liquid waste volume by up to 95 percent. Transformative wastewater technologies are critical for both businesses and the world’s population. In fact, unless sufficient progress is achieved, UNICEF and WHO estimate that 1.6 billion people will be without access to safe drinking water by 2030, and 2.8 billion will be without access to safe sanitation and hygiene. Water treatment technologies can disrupt current trends and improve global access to safe drinking water.
Forward Water Technologies Corp. ("Forward Water" or the "Company") (TSXV:FWTC) announces their participation, in conjunction with Membracon UK, to support a study of Forward Osmosis with Cranfield University. Forward Osmosis is a water separation process which uses a semipermeable membrane and the natural energy of osmotic pressure to separate water from dissolved solutes. This solution technology process is, in most manners, used for product concentration, wastewater concentration and the extraction of clean water for reuse. With the ongoing world wide water crisis these emerging technologies will provide clean water alternatives to legacy solutions. As a leader in the global clean water initiatives, Forward Water is looking to expand their partnerships with leading educational institutions to assist in clean water recovery.
"The mining industry is essential to the global economy as well as continuing to increase the quality of life. However, enabling this industry to be sustainable is essential and Forward Water is aiding in that evolution,” the company’s president and CEO Howie Honeyman said Forward Water Technologies (TSX-V:FWTC) Corp has announced that it is one of the five finalists moving to the second phase of the Mining Innovation Challenge: Reduce Water Use organised by the Mining Association of British Columbia (MABC) and Foresight Canada.
Forward Water Technologies Corp. (FWTC) has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Membracon (UK) regarding a joint venture. The proposed joint venture will be resourced by both Membracon and Forward Water and will be responsible for delivering Forward Water's forward osmosis processes and solutions within the United Kingdom and Ireland. Forward Water CEO, Dr. Howie Honeyman sat down with Dave Jackson to discuss the partnership with Membracon.
