H 2 O Innovation Mobile Units Boost Water Resilience
QUEBEC CITY, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--H 2 O Innovation Inc. ('H 2 O Innovation' or the 'Corporation') is proud to announce five new leasing contracts in its mobile fleet which is designed to address requirements in the drinking water, biological wastewater treatment, mining, power generation and various markets. Strategically, the rental of mobile units enables customers to achieve water supply security in critical situations, add resilience to water treatment, and solve problems without having to tie up capital. In the first few months of fiscal year 2025, the Corporation was able to capture new projects to supply mobile units comprising containerized ultrafiltration systems (FlexBox™ UF), containerized reverse osmosis systems (FlexBox™ RO) and membrane bioreactors (MBR) SILO™. In the case of the FlexBox™ UF sent to an industrial company in Illinois, H 2 O Innovation was able to deliver the system in three days from the initial phone call from the client. The customer was extremely satisfied and has already extended to the initial rental term. " Our mobile units are excellent tactical solutions, which can be deployed both in emergency situations and on a planned basis. The delivery of this mobile unit in three days fully illustrates the agility and commitment of our teams to respond rapidly to the critical needs of our partners. The customer's satisfaction confirms the relevance of our approach and the confidence we inspire in the industrial sector," said Frédéric Dugré, President and CEO of H 2 O Innovation. The Corporation will also supply a FlexBox™ RO for a power plant in Texas, for a period of eight months. Being able to supply both the containerized system and weekly on-site operational support is what enabled H 2 O Innovation's sales team to secure this project. Also, the Corporation secured two mine water applications in western Canada where both a combination FlexBox™ UF and RO will be deployed. H 2 O Innovation was selected for these two projects due to its experience in past mining deployments and ability to successfully execute mobile deployments in remote cold weather regions. Finally, the Corporation won an extension to its rental contract with a Quebec-based recreational tourism company for two membrane bioreactor SILO™ systems. The customer had initially selected H 2 O Innovation for a 1-year contract. The performance of the units has since led the client to renew the contract for an additional three years. About H 2 O Innovation Innovation is in our name, and it is what drives the organization.

University of Austin's WaterHub aims to ease strained water supply
Editor's note: This story was written by University of Texas student Clara Carrabba. The University of Texas is making a bold leap in water sustainability with its planned WaterHub facility, the largest of its kind at a university in the U.S. Why it matters: The hub, which officials expect to be running by fall 2027, will be able to reclaim up to 1 million gallons of wastewater per day, easing the burden on Austin's water supply, which has been stressed from population growth and extreme weather conditions. What they're saying: The WaterHub will decrease the university's dependence on city water supplies year-round and reduce campus water usage, according to Xavier Rivera Marzán, who led initial planning for the hub as the university's former executive director of utilities and energy management. "Every gallon of water reclaimed by UT's WaterHub is another gallon of water made available for the Austin community," Rivera Marzán says. Zoom in: The 9,600-square-foot water processing facility, which will be located in UT's engineering district, will serve as a laboratory for students and faculty to study water treatment and reuse technology. It will also include a greenhouse space that's open to the public. How it works: The WaterHub will intercept domestic wastewater from the newly installed diversion manhole at East 21st Street and San Jacinto Boulevard. The water will enter a distribution system to be filtered and treated before it's used in cooling towers and boilers. The reclaimed water, which is safe for non-drinking purposes, will help the university achieve a 40% reduction in campus portable water usage. By the numbers: Existing WaterHubs across the U.S. reclaim between 300,000 to 600,000 gallons of water daily. Beyond sustainability, the WaterHub will reduce water purchase costs and discharge fees over time, according to UT's utilities and energy management website. What's next: The facility will be managed and maintained by H2O Innovation in a public-private partnership with the university.
