MetaFLO Technologies is a Mississauga, Ontario-based leading service provider for treating liquid wastesx000D
through innovative, environmentally friendly chemistry and unique reagent delivery systems. The MetaFLOx000D
Technologies was developed in 2003 for profitable chemical production and delivery systems operation,x000D
research, business development and marketing that employs 7 full-time year-round employees and providex000D
supplies and solutions for effective treatment of liquid waste streams with the least amount of risk andx000D
environmental impact and is been in operation all over North America and Australia with new application inx000D
UK and Europe. While the MetaFLO Technologies' vision is to enhance the technology, finding potentialx000D
beneficial reuse of the solidified materials became a crucial topic. The company-specific problem is if thex000D
solidified liquid waste or often called as 'excess soil' can be reused solely or in mixture with other growthx000D
medium for agricultural applications. It is reasoned that solidified materials with finer textures andx000D
environmentally safe water absorbing chemicals can improve the water and nutrient holding capacity of soilx000D
and thus can maintain or improve crop production. Greenhouse pot experiments that analyze a range of soilx000D
physical and chemical properties and evaluate seedling growth can be done with university of Guelph and willx000D
be the scientific basis for characterizing change in soil physical and chemical health. . The company willx000D
benefit from better knowledge on the potential beneficial reuse of solidified materials for agricultural purposesx000D
and support of their circular economy model as well as contribution towards mitigating climate change. Thex000D
Engage project will provide MetaFLO Technologies with necessary information leading to market advantages.
