A small Canadian company working out of the Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park is taking on one of this century’s greatest challenges —abundant access to clean water for people, farms and industry. Forward Water Technologies has developed a proprietary technology that uses ‘forward osmosis’ to convert dirty wastewater into clean water. The technology was born at an Ontario university lab and has now reached the demonstration stage in a pilot plant at the Sarnia facility. “The winds of change are blowing,” company president and CEO Howie Honeyman said of addressing climate change and resource protection.
