项目摘要

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

MetaFLO Technologies 是一家总部位于安大略省米西索加的领先服务提供商，通过创新、环保的化学和独特的试剂输送系统处理液体废物。 MetaFLOTechnologies 于 2003 年开发，旨在实现盈利的化学品生产和输送系统运营、研究、业务开发和营销，全年雇用 7 名全职员工，提供有效处理液体废物流的用品和解决方案，同时将风险和环境影响降至最低。并已在北美和澳大利亚运营，并在英国和欧洲有了新的应用。虽然 MetaFLO Technologies 的愿景是增强技术，但寻找固化材料的潜在有益再利用成为一个关键主题。该公司特有的问题是，固化的液体废物或通常称为“多余的土壤”是否可以单独或与其他生长介质混合用于农业应用。据推测，质地更细的固化材料和环境安全的吸水化学物质可以提高土壤的水分和养分保持能力，从而维持或提高作物产量。可以与圭尔夫大学合作进行温室盆栽实验，分析一系列土壤物理和化学特性并评估幼苗生长，这将成为表征土壤物理和化学健康变化的科学基础。。该公司将受益于更好地了解固化材料用于农业目的的潜在有益再利用、对其循环经济模式的支持以及对缓解气候变化的贡献。 TheEngage 项目将为 MetaFLO Technologies 提供获得市场优势所需的信息。
