PROFILES IN ACHIEVEMENT
The Company:
Innocorps provides clean water solutions for on-site water treatment in the harshest of environments. Their technology is built to reuse and recycle highly contaminated water, using cost-effective materials and less energy than conventional thermal methods, making clean water more affordable.
The successful start-up is located in Innovation Place in Saskatoon.
The Achievement:
In 2009, Innocorps began working on prototype models to test ideas on how to desalinate water. The project, dubbed the STRATO Mobile Desalination Platform, has now developed into a commercial product. STRATO is an energy-efficient, modular, self-contained water purification platform that produces distilled water from any type of source water.
Treated water can be reused and recycled in applications such as treating flowback from fracking operations, decentralized remote drinking water utilities and emergency water services in disaster relief applications. This technology is also mobile allowing it to address a wide range of markets including mobile drinking water, industrial waste recycling, environmental remediation and humanitarian aid.
In November 2017, STRATO received the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority’s Science, Technology, Innovation and Collaboration Project Award.
The Team:
In addition to Innocorps CEO Aarya Shahsavar, P.Eng., the company has four Professional Engineers on its advisory board and employs five Engineers-In-Training and one Geoscientist-In-Training. The Innocorps team also worked closely with Tyson Pederson, P.Eng. of Tyson Pederson Consulting Ltd.
