Ontario’s Water Story

Welcome to Ontario. As a leader in the global water market, Ontario has a highly competitive water industry and a strong record of establishing world-class water technologies. Private and public investment in Ontario’s water infrastructure, technologies and services is supporting the growth of existing water industry businesses, and it is also fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs developing innovative new solutions.

This directory spotlights some of the companies that are providing world-class solutions for challenges in domestic and international markets. However, this booklet is just a glimpse — you can find a growing and comprehensive resource on WaterTAP’s website, which currently hosts listings for 400+ companies.

This directory also shares Ontario’s water story. As you turn these pages, you’ll learn how our province’s progressive water policies have supported the production of water solutions for domestic need and accelerated the development and growth of Ontario’s exports to global markets. You’ll also read about Ontario’s strong water infrastructure and innovation ecosystem, which includes world-renowned research and academic institutions, business accelerators, and accessible funding opportunities.

Recognizing Ontario’s growing prominence in developing and exporting solutions, the Government of Ontario created The Water Technology Acceleration Project — WaterTAP — to help connect Ontario companies with the resources they need to successfully enter the water technology markets.

a North American centre of water excellence.


Resources and Responsibilities

Stretching from the temperate region of the Great Lakes bordering the United States all the way to the barren subarctic north, Ontario is home to the nation’s capital, Ottawa, and Canada’s largest city, Toronto. Ontario is among the largest provinces of Canada, where one in three Canadians lives in a thriving crossroads of culture and prosperity, blessed with natural beauty and resources.

Thousands of people and hundreds of businesses, organizations, research institutions, and government agencies in Ontario create, deliver, and export environmentally responsible and leading-edge water and wastewater technologies, products, and services around the world. This critical mass makes Ontario a global leader in advanced water technologies and solutions, and the global gateway to the vast market of public and private water utilities, municipalities, industries, and organizations in the Americas.

Ontario’s water resources include a quarter-million inland lakes, rivers, groundwater resources, and four of the Great Lakes of North America. The Great Lakes provide fresh drinking water for nearly half of Ontario’s 13 million people, and supply the water-intensive needs of industries that produce more than half of the nation’s total manufacturing output. They have helped transform the province into a world-class economic powerhouse.

The responsibility of safeguarding and conserving one of the world’s largest fresh water repositories is a major reason that Ontario has some of the world’s best standards for water and wastewater.

Adam Doran, VP of Peterborough-based Aclarus Ozone Water Systems, takes a grab sample from a pilot installation in Cobourg, Ontario. Here, the company’s compact modular ozone system treats 7,000 cubic metres of wastewater per day with a solution that uses less power, lowers the plant’s carbon footprint, and requires no chlorine.

Technology Designed to Impact the World

Ontario’s homegrown solutions and expertise have made a significant impact around the world. Our companies continue to lead the way, following in the footsteps of two major success stories: ZENON, developer of membrane technologies for water purification, wastewater treatment and water recycling, and Trojan Technologies, which specializes in the design, manufacture and sales of pressurized and open-channel, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems.

When Singapore started its conversion to membrane-based water filtration in 2002, ZENON Environmental Inc. (now owned by GE) was chosen to supply its ZeeWeed® membranes to a 273,000 cubic metres per day water reclamation facility. The treatment plant remains one of the world’s largest of its kind.

Trojan Technologies was selected by the Eastern Tertiary Alliance to provide the ultraviolet disinfection system for the Eastern Treatment Plant Tertiary Upgrade Project in Melbourne, Australia. The UV system will disinfect average and peak tertiary treated effluent flows of 380 and 700 million litres (101 and 187 million gallons) per day respectively, making it the largest UV installation in Australia. With over 7,800 municipal facilities in more than 80 countries using its technology, Trojan has the largest installed base of UV systems in the world and is one of Ontario’s biggest success stories.

Ontario’s long history of entrepreneurial success has made it the destination for water industry businesses seeking the right place to locate, innovate, and grow.

Site Selection, a leading international magazine focused on corporate real estate strategy and economic development, designated Ontario the winner of its 2016 Canadian Competitiveness Award. Globally, Ontario is recognized as a top investment destination.

Winner of the “Canadian Competitiveness Award” by Site Selection, a leading international magazine focused on corporate real estate strategy and economic development, Ontario.

Likewise, Toronto ranks as one of North America’s “smartest cities” and is among the world’s top-ten locations for start-up businesses, closely followed by the high-tech region surrounding the City of Waterloo.

With new opportunities for integrating water, energy, data, and resource recovery emerging in today’s water industry, Ontario’s combination of technology expertise, sustainability, and unmatched livability make it the business destination of choice.

“ontario’s interconnected infrastructure offers tremendous value in helping companies be successful. if a company needs strategic access to North American markets, some of the best water industry talent, and capital, ontario is a great place to locate a water or wastewater business.”

David Henderson, Managing Director, XPV Capital Corporation

“Emerging companies, especially in the cleantech sector, have many resources in ontario to help us grow.”

Ecoinsight produces a smart meter to monitor the level of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in interceptors. FOG and solids level data is wirelessly transmitted to facility staff, bylaw enforcement staff and pumper or service companies. Grease blockages and resulting spills and back-ups are eliminated by servicing grease interceptors before they overflow into sewer system.

By investing in a universal mandatory grease interceptor smart meter program, municipalities will eliminate the costs and political embarrassment of grease blockages (more than 20,000 events and $1 billion in North America) and have access to a beneficial resource (the collected “waste” FOG). The “smart”-level monitor also reduces costs for food service establishments by optimizing its interceptor pump-outs. This smart meter also helps companies avoid sewage back-up into their establishments.

A Nova Scotia water treatment plant struggled for years with THM control due to varying source water Natural Organic Matter (NOM). The utility employed TOC/DOC and UV254 NOM monitoring technologies; however, this approach did not solve the challenge. Adopting the PeCOD NOM monitor enabled the utility to measure the reactivity of the NOM, thereby predicting the THM formation potential. This allowed the utility to react, optimize coagulation, and reduce THMs in the drinking water supply.

On June 3, 2015, the City of North Battleford was presented with a 2015 CAMA Environment Award. The award recognizes the successful implementation of a Lystek biosolids management system at the City to replace its historical practice of landfilling.
