combined with our in-house innovation (research and development) team, have implemented new technologies to address the ever-evolving environmental issues the world faces today and carved out a reputation as some of the most innovative environmental experts in North America,” says Savoy. ALTRA’s PFAS Solution is another innovation that has received increased attention in the last two years. The proprietary foam fractionation technology, combined with high-performing modular units operating in continuous mode, allow to treat large volumes of water heavily contaminated with PFAS, the “forever chemical”. With over 7,000 projects realized, ALTRA | SANEXEN has completed an array of very complex environmental projects. After the historic 2013 Lac Mégantic rail disaster, the team worked closely on the ground to decontaminate water from the contaminants present in firefighting foam and started working with McGill University and University of Montréal, who are now world leaders in analytical PFAS chemistry. “Our partnership over the years has delivered solid results to combat today’s most critical challenge, PFAS. In the last 18 months, our team has analyzed more than 10,000 samples using the new EPA methods,” says Savoy, adding proudly, “All of this is happening here in Montréal.” Deloitte Best Managed 2023 38 AUG 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
