SYMBIENT ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Published purpose

Symbient Environmental Technologies is a Mississauga, Ontario based clean-tech start-up company specializing in the development of enabling process technologies based on catalysis and other engineered nanomaterials.  Symbient has patent pending catalyst and process technologies for water treatment, which will enable the point of use production of performic acid (PFA), a non-toxic and sustainable disinfectant which will obviate the need to use chlorine-based disinfectants, thereby eliminating the creation of hazardous chlorination disinfection by-products (DPBs).  Symbient’s PFA technology will afford reduced capital and operating costs and result in a substantial reduction in ecotoxicity and climate change impact relative to the incumbent hypochlorite disinfection technology, enabling operators to achieve their regulatory compliance targets.
