About CVW CleanTech Inc.
CVW Cleantech is a clean technology
innovator that has focused on providing solutions to the mining
sector of Canada's oil sands industry. The Company's CVW™
technology provides sustainable solutions to reduce the
environmental footprint of the oilsands industry. Our technology
reduces the environmental impact of oil sands froth treatment
tailings, while economically recovering valuable products that
would otherwise be lost. CVW™ recovers bitumen, solvents, heavy
minerals and water from tailings, preventing these commodities from
entering tailings ponds and the atmosphere: volatile organic
compound and greenhouse gas emissions are materially reduced; hot
tailings water is improved in quality for recycling; and residual
tailings can be thickened more readily. A new minerals industry
would be created with the production and export of zircon and
titanium, essential ingredients in the ceramics and pigment
industries.
