| 1 | Executive Summary |
It is estimated that well over 80 per cent of wastewater worldwide (over 95 per cent in some developing countries) is released into the environment without treatment (UNESCO, 2017, p. 10). A United-Nations backed study showed that annual treated wastewater in North America roughly equates to the volume of Niagara Falls; less than 4 percent is reused (Collins, 2013, para. 1).
The market for water and wastewater treatment technologies is likely to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9% during the forecast period 2019 - 2024. One of the major driving factors of the market is the rapidly diminishing freshwater resources across the globe. However, lack of awareness on appropriate usage of water treatment techniques is likely to restrain the market ("Wastewater Growth Trends," 2019, para. 1). The demand for innovative treatments to enable reuse of water is on the rise as operators and municipalities seek the most cost-effective strategies to handle the increasing volumes of oily and organic wastewater and the effective recovery from a release of hydrocarbons to a waterway. It is sometimes the case where the most cost-effective strategy in the short-term is not always the most cost effective long-term. SOLVAQUA supports organizations in their short and long-term waste reduction goals by providing location specific and process specific solutions for the treatment of wastewater for reuse or repurposing.
The primary environmental benefit from our technology is to provide Clean Water for re-use in many sectors such as:
| • | Industrial |
| • | Oil & gas operations |
| • | Irrigation |
| • | Municipal |
| • | Reinjection |
| • | Agriculture |
| • | Recreation |
| • | Disaster Recovery |
| • | A preface for reintroduction into navigable water or for preparation of drinking water |
The use of our technology results in environmental benefits by enabling increased volumes of produced water for re-use in fracking or by providing a more effective injection fluid and by reducing the amount of fresh water used for industrial and oil & gas purposes.
Enabling the processing of industrial wastewaters, existing wastewater storage, polluted lakes, rivers, streams and storage sites (tailings ponds). Reuse of wastewater reduces the continued use of freshwater while wastewater is being discharged.
| 2 | Project Definition |
| 2.1 | High Level Vision |
Our vision is to provide an integrated and automated daily treatment process of wastewater for the recovery of water and reduction in waste. This processed fluid from SolvAQUA will undergo additional processing to allow for effective Secondary, Tertiary and Desalination processes. The By-Product Waste will be recycled, reused or repurposed.
| 2.2 | Objectives |
The objective in 2020 is for SolvAQUA to:
· Design, manufacture and sell 25,000+ bpd Wastewater Management Systems (WMS) for commercial processing of wastewater.

| 2.3 | Overview of Scope |
SolvAQUA will provide equipment and ongoing support utilizing an automated daily treatment process for the treatment of wastewater to recover water for reuse and provide a reduced by-product waste that can be recycled, reused, repurposed or as a reduced volume for disposal meeting regulatory requirements.
| 2.4 | Procurement Items |

| 6 | Equipment Specifications |
| 6.1 | Fodder WMS System Description and Features |
| 7 |
The system consists of the following:
| · | Feed pump |
| · | Flow meter |
| · | Pipe mixers |
| · | Chemical injection pumps |
| · | Skid |
In the process, feed water will be injected into the pipe mixers using a feed pump. SolvAQUA proprietary chemicals such as NFD will be injected continuously to the pipe mixer. Aluminum Sulfate will be added to adjust the fully activate the nano-polymer forming a floc. A conditioner is added to bulk the floc. Both the TSS and organics present in the feed water will be entrapped, encapsulated/bonded. These bonded particles have flowed through static mixers to promote slow and gentle mixing with the polymers required to help the particles form bridges and agglomerate into much larger flocs. Once formed, the large flocs are easily removed by filtration, straining, floatation or sedimentation.
