The Synauta team is ecstatic to be nominated amongst great competition:

ROTEC – An Israeli developer of a high-recovery Flow Reversal Reverse Osmosis (FR-RO) system, which intermittently alternates the flow direction to take advantage of the initial slow-stage of scale formation reactions. FR-RO is now being implemented on Singapore’s Changi WWTP, and is being retrofit to a potable water BWRO at Santa Monica, California.

Sentry – A Canadian developer of bio-electrode sensor technology that provides real-time microbial performance monitoring in wastewater treatment systems. It more than doubled its installation count to 135 active deployments at WWTPs. Fuelled by an investment from SKion and others, it also won 10 projects in Singapore.

Synauta – A Canadian start-up optimizing the performance of desalination plants through machine learning, which provides a “setpoints-as-a-service” offering. During 2021, the company secured new projects in SWRO, BWRO and water reuse applications around the globe, including projects in South America, North Africa and southeast Asia, and made key partnerships with Engie, Osmoflo, Sacyr and Veolia.

Transcend Water – An automated design software company with a cloud technology born out of Organica Water. The company increased its customer base ten times over as water utilities from Brazil to southeast Asia and the UK recognized the solution’s benefits for their asset planning.
