Pathogen Detection Systems Inc receives $2.4 million for project

27 November 2009

Funded by SD Tech Fund of Sustainable Development Technology Canada, the project led by Pathogen Detection Systems will develop and demonstrate the company’s portable, on-site, high-speed microbiological water monitoring system to detect E.Coli and Total Coliforms in water.

Through its Sustainable Development Technology Canada funded project, Pathogen Detection Systems will integrate its microbiological water monitoring system with sophisticated water treatment optimization software, reducing time by 50 to 80%, reducing costs and improving test integrity. This will bring both water and greenhouse gas environmental benefits by improving water plant performance, reducing energy consumption and decreasing toxic water treatment by-products.
 

David Anderson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board, said: “By investing in Canadian technologies such as Pathogen Detection Systems' clean water technology, our Government is helping to stimulate a new green economy in Canada, creating jobs and helping to protect the environment.”
