About Seair

Seair develops proprietary equipment that diffuses gases, such as oxygen, ozone and carbon dioxide, into liquids. Seair's patented technology produces extremely small bubbles, making it far more efficient than other diffusion technologies. Off-gassing is virtually eliminated and gases remain dissolved in solution for extended periods of time, leading to increased productivity and lower operating costs. This, in turn, facilitates gas-based treatment of complex and challenging wastewater and allows Seair to provide full water reuse and closed loop systems.

Seair applications include the treatment of water used in oil and gas industry operations such as hydraulic fracturing, oil sands/SAGD water solutions and the treatment of water produced with hydrocarbons. Other applications include efficient aeration of industrial ponds, mine dewatering, end-to-end sewage treatment for remote work camps and permanent residential communities and golf course irrigation and pond treatment.

Seair is recognized as one of the top 5 Clean Tech companies on the TSX Venture Exchange as part of the 2012 TSX Venture 50 program.
