MONTRÉAL, April 17,
2024 /CNW/ - ALTRA | SANEXEN won today the Water
Sector Distinction Award from Réseau Environnement. This award is
presented to an organization working in the field of drinking water
or wastewater, and who has made an outstanding contribution in
Quebec to the improvement and
sound management of infrastructures or best practices in this
field.
"This award recognizes the exceptional work of our team in
developing and deploying new technologies to protect our water
sources and renew our drinking water infrastructure," said
Jean-François Bolduc, President of ALTRA | SANEXEN. "By solving
today's major environmental challenges, we aim to help build
resilient societies for the future generations."
Over the past 20 years, ALTRA | SANEXEN has established itself
as the best process for renewing and protecting aging drinking
water mains. Over 350 North American cities and more than 2,500 km
of watermains have been successfully lined with ALTRA.
The Company's PFAS treatment technology has also received a lot
of attention recently, with its first fully operational treatment
system, the first of its kind in the U.S., installed earlier this
year at Waste Connections-owned SKB Rosemount Landfill. The
technology removes up to 99% of per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances, or "PFAS", from the facility's leachate. The ALTRA
technology can treat 25 million gallons per year of leachate on
this site, based on a business model that guarantees technical
performance and a commercial approach that benefits its
customers.
"We are very proud of the work we have accomplished in the last
years to fully launch our PFAS technology across North America," added Martin Bureau,
Vice-President, Innovation, ALTRA | SANEXEN. "Today, with our
unique Clean Water as a Service model, we offer the most
comprehensive one-stop shop - a customized, sustainable approach to
treating PFAS-contaminated water at a fraction of the cost and risk
associated with other solutions."
The award was presented during the Distinctions Ceremony held on
April 17 in Lévis, on the occasion of
the 15th edition of the Salon des technologies environnementales du
Québec. The Distinctions Ceremony aims at promoting Québec's
environmental know-how and highlighting excellence in the
development of environmental technologies.
