Published purpose

2S Water is developing a sensor system to ensure safe drinking water. Our system will scan the output of water treatment facilities for 105 contaminants identified in federal water guidelines, and provide reports and near real-time data to operators on demand via web-enabled technologies, no matter what the operator’s skill level. Our service will be fully automated and only require annual maintenance. Over the first five years of deployment, the impact of launching this new technology will be the reduction of 13,334 tonnes of CO2e, 349,778,500 m3 of water, 19,265 tonnes of chemicals, and 211,363,645 m3 of tailings water in the first five years of deployment, which represents 117 treatment facilities in Canada and 1118 worldwide, totalling 1235 deployment. 2S Water will help communities protect their water quality by letting operators know immediately when the quality of their water changes or a contaminant intrusion occurs. This will enable communities to better protect the health of their citizens, and improve the environment by allowing their operators to use more precise amounts of chemicals in their water treatment at lower cost.
