Dec. 10 Trojan wins major UV-system contract from Brazil
BRAZIL LOOKS TO CANADIAN COMPANY, TROJAN
TECHNOLOGIES INC., F ...
Trojan Technologies has been awarded a contract valued at
approximately $600,000, to supply ultraviolet (UV) systems to four
waste water plants in the state of Espirito Santo. Scheduled to be in
operation early next year, the facilities will treat a total of 32 million
gallons (121,000 cubic metres) of water a day.
Trojan is also the supplier of the largest UV waste water treatment
installation in Latin America. Located in the city of Curitiba (in the
southern Brazilian state of Parana), the modern plant is now fully
operational. It serves a population of 330,000 people and treats up
to 36 million gallons (136,000 cubic metres) of water a day.
While Trojan has been active in Brazil for the past five years, these
most recent contracts represent a significant increase in the
company's business in the region. "The Brazilian water boards are
now recognizing the advantages of UV technology and the fact that
Trojan is a global leader in providing these solutions," said company
president and chief executive officer Allan Bulckaert.
The country's growing interest in UV water treatment was also
evident today as more than 20 Brazilian engineers and officials
arrived in London, Ont., to visit Trojan's research, engineering and
manufacturing facilities.
Ontario Environment Minister Chris Stockwell noted with pride that,
"The Brazilian delegation is here because Ontario is home to some
of the most advanced and innovative technologies being used to
protect water resources around the world."
The visiting delegation was organized by the Brazilian Association of
Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, and the tour program was
arranged by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
Trojan UV equipment is now installed in 10 waste water plants in
Brazil. "With the adoption of more stringent regulations governing
waste water treatment, Brazil represents enormous opportunity for
Trojan in the future," Mr. Bulckaert explained.
