H2O Innovation and Sustainable Water deliver Water Reuse Infrastructures Through Water Processing Agreements
March 25 2019 - 8:00AM
(TSXV: HEO) – H2O Innovation has partnered with Sustainable Water
(“SW”) – Glen Allen, VA – on more than 45 eco-engineered wastewater
reclamation and reuse projects in the United States. These projects
range from small community-scale water treatment to district-scale
wastewater reclamation and reuse. The partnership with Sustainable
Water spans beyond technology, system design and operations into
full Water Processing Agreements which also include project
development, finance and investment. This is a strategic
collaboration that will allow a greater reach into the water reuse
market. "Our partnership with H2O Innovation combines decades of
water treatment experience and an ability to provide clients with
unmatched expertise for customized water management solutions”,
stated Jonathan Lanciani, President of Sustainable
Water.
“Up to now, we have disclosed six (6) projects, which are now
part of our $50.0 M backlog, and we are actively working on a
pipeline of 41 opportunities for similar-sized water recycling
plants. This partnership with Sustainable Water is looking very
promising at a time when the decentralized water reuse market is
exploding. The momentum we are building with Sustainable Water will
certainly create a lot of value for both our organisations”,
stated Frédéric Dugré, President & CEO of H2O
Innovation.
The partnership’s first project consists of a wastewater
reclamation and reuse system serving a major manufacturing plant in
Virginia. Called the Virginia WaterHub®, this system combines
natural, hydroponic, treatment techniques with the flexMBRTM open
technology and reverse osmosis (“RO”). This system will treat 0.7
MGD (2,650 m3/day) of domestic and industrial wastewater coming
from a manufacturing center’s campus. On-demand, recycled
wastewater will be used in cooling towers – reducing the campus
potable water footprint by nearly 40%.

The Virginia WaterHub® is a hallmark of H2O Innovation’s design
& operation collaboration with Sustainable Water. This project,
like many other WaterHub® projects, are owned by Sustainable Water
through a Water Processing Agreement (WPA). A WPA is an agreement
that allows Sustainable Water to invest on behalf of the client to
design, build, operate, and maintain a water treatment and
reclamation system.
The construction of the Virginia WaterHub® is nearing completion
and system start-up is slated for the summer of 2019. H2O
Innovation O&M business line, Utility Partners, will also
operate the system on behalf of Sustainable Water, for an initial
5-year period. The system will use H2O Innovation’s
state-of-the-art IntelogxTM software package custom designed for
WaterHub® reclamation and reuse projects. “In the projects we
delivered for SW, we used our latest membrane technologies
(flexMBRTM), we provided our IntelogxTM software that has the most
attractive user experience in the water industry, and we provided
the staff & the expertise to operate the plant; we basically
take full accountability for both CAPEX and OPEX. Delivering such a
level of long-term price certainty to a water asset developer like
Sustainable Water is a unique offering that no other equipment firm
is able to provide. This is also why the collaboration with
Sustainable Water is a true partnership, way beyond the typical
supplier-customer relationship”, added Guillaume Clairet,
COO of H2O Innovation.
