Analytical Laboratories

The CAWT’s accredited facility includes two state-of-the-art analytical laboratories, including a biological laboratory for microbial analyses. The laboratories are equipped with an exceptional range of instrumentation and equipment.

A full list of the CAWT’s Scope of Accreditation for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is available on the CALA website.

Having an accredited in-house analytical laboratory means that you can not only trust the results, but your project will also benefit from reduced costs and increased efficiency.

Advanced Research Facilities

Our large indoor research facilities provide space for projects ranging from small bench scale projects to full-scale verification testing trials. Equipped to handle varying electrical and plumbing needs, our facilities have space for large storage tanks to hold influents for batch testing of technologies.

Our greenhouse and environmental lab facilities are home to environmental chambers that allow for controlled studies under specific environmental and climatic conditions.

Our spaces are secure and customizable, allowing us to host several projects and technologies at once.

Onsite Research Testing Facility

Our Onsite Wastewater Research Testing Facility is conveniently located at a wastewater treatment plant north of our main research centre, satisfying the cold climate requirements for certain Canadian industry standards. Our onsite research testing facility is available for companies interested in pursuing certifications, such as NSF/ANSI 40 and CAN/BNQ 3680-600, for their onsite residential wastewater treatment systems.  With room to host 6 full-scale technologies our third-party testing can support optimization, verification, validation of technologies on these critical standards.

Take a peek inside this unique facility that is capable of supporting multiple technologies at once.
