Peter Klaptchuk was always interested in the ability of ozone gas to destroy bacteria and its resulting odours, and is now among a growing group in Saskatchewan that has recognized an opportunity and embraced innovation. He developed the "Ozonator" which is a machine that shreds bio-hazarodous waste. When the entire process is complete, the volume of the waste is reduced by up to 90%. According to Klaptchuk, the Ozonator provides zero emissions, is easy to use, and inexpensive to operate. Another great innovator is Bill Kidd. His father, worked in a Saskatchewan Research Council, and they had projects to improve dugout water for residents. They used a coagulant to settle out an entire dugout, but found it expensive and harmful to creatures or heavy rain stirring the water up again. Even though engineers said it couldn't be done, Kidd worked at it while continuing to run his business. After a year, Kidd had developed a prototype and a couple of years after that, had hundreds of water treatment units in farming households. Now, Tec-Water Supplies (B. Kidd's company) has teamed up with Sun Dale resort to test its larger Floc System 100, it allows small communities to use surface water rather than ground water. With the help from government funding, they were able to perform field tests and many bore research to increase the quality and efficiency of this system. He teamed up with Cheryl Bechard and Jeremy Erdmann started Check-It Monitoring. These starters of this company started a computer hardware system to monitor energy consumption in many homes and buildings to reduce excess energy usage and to save more. Their steps to improving energy efficiency and to solve old problems will surely benefit and give good long term side affects to the community and the future.
