​Northwin works on a holistic approach to water treatment to ensure that the solutions being implemented are meeting the clients overall need.  In many instances Northwin has worked with clients to manage upstream activities that are having drastic impacts on water quality or quantity.  This approach often leads to unloading the existing water treatment system sufficiently to allow for continued use with only minor changes to site actives.

Northwin also works with clients to develop site specific water treatment needs for clients that are completing specific projects.  The image on the right was a picture of a project that we did with BC Hydro to manage 80,000,000 liters of water in a 3-month time frame.  The water was impacted with metals, hydrocarbons, and high in TSS.  We worked with the client to ensure the system was able to meet the aquatic life discharge criteria so as to provide water for returning salmon.  The work was completed with no environmental exceedances.  The system was also designed to operate in a standby mode when no water was being generated.  This allowed for substantial cost savings in fuel and maintenance.
