Pressure on surface waters is being increased due to human actions on land and new climate change scenarios. These new variables are causing impacts on water resources and sediment by watershed discharge or direct release of contaminants such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which are considered important factors for primary productivity. For this fundamental reason, eutrophication scenarios are augmented. In eutrophication occurrence, surface water will go through physical chemical and biological change including obnoxious smells, decrease of dissolved oxygen, and harmful toxin production. The market needs for remediation procedures to attenuate the presented issue are increasing as the occurrences of eutrophic water resources are growing every year. The eutrophication scenario attenuation is being addressed by the removal of suspended particles which are associated with nutrients using a floating filtration system, a silt curtain (i.e., for containment of a specific area), and geotextiles (woven and non-woven) as filter media. A novel, flexible, reactive and potentially economic environmental remediation is under development. Up to this date there is no similar treatment is being proposed in the specialized literature. By the geotextile filtration presented, removal of suspended solids and particulate phosphorus could be achieved reducing the likeability of eutrophication scenarios, improving the water resource quality and possibly decreasing/suppressing algal/cyanobacteria blooms. Therefore this Lab 2 Market application will assess the market for this technology to help prepare for the NSERC I2I Phase I proposal. Potential customers, their business model, and market entry point will be determined. These hypotheses are then validated through market research. The program is of four months in duration and is broken up into three distinct training phases. The Entrepreneurial Lead (EL) will be a full time PhD student who will work on the project full-time (20 to 40 hours/week) over the duration participating in all training sessions and all activities. By the end of the program, the appropriate path forward for the filtration project will be determined.

由于人类对土地和新的气候变化情景的行动，对地表水的压力正在增加。这些新变量正在通过流域排放或直接释放磷和氮等污染物对水资源和沉积物产生影响，这些污染物被认为是主要生产力的重要因素。出于这个基本原因，富营养化方案得到了增强。在富营养化的情况下，地表水将经历物理化学和生物学变化，包括令人讨厌的气味，溶解的氧气减少和有害的毒素产生。随着每年的富营养化水资源的发生率在增长，衰减提出的问题的补救程序需求正在增加。通过使用浮动过滤系统，与养分相关的悬浮颗粒（即用于容纳特定区域的封闭）和GeoteXtiles（编织和非织造）作为滤镜，可以解决富营养化的情况衰减。正在开发一种新颖，灵活，反应性和潜在的经济环境修复。到目前为止，专门文献中没有提出类似的待遇。通过呈现的土工布过滤，可以去除悬浮的固体和颗粒磷，从而降低了富营养化场景的可爱性，改善了水资源质量并可能降低/抑制/抑制藻类/氰基菌群。因此，该实验室2市场应用将评估该技术的市场，以帮助为NSERC I2I阶段I阶段提案做准备。 潜在客户，其业务模型和市场入口点将确定。然后通过市场研究来验证这些假设。 该计划的持续时间为四个月，分为三个不同的训练阶段。企业家领导（EL）将是一名全职博士生，他将在参加所有培训课程和所有活动的时间内全日制项目（每周20至40小时）。到程序结束时，将确定过滤项目的适当途径。
