00:00:06,214 --> 00:00:09,092
The Pop up city contest challenged innovators

2
00:00:09,092 --> 00:00:12,679
to build more efficient,
integrated, and green energy, water

3
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:17,308
and waste management solutions for camps
used by the Canadian Armed Forces.

4
00:00:17,308 --> 00:00:20,186
Once power generation,

5
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:24,399
water production,
and waste management is taken care of

6
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,819
I would say that the heart of the camps is
well taken care of,

7
00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:30,822
and the soldiers that are employed
can actually do their job.

8
00:00:30,822 --> 00:00:33,658
The problem we're actually solving is
how do you support a soldier

9
00:00:33,658 --> 00:00:37,579
or a person anywhere on earth,
completely off grid, ultimately,

10
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:40,623
and so what we did was
we looked at that problem

11
00:00:40,623 --> 00:00:44,753
by taking a step up and looking at
how the outputs from one system

12
00:00:44,753 --> 00:00:48,965
aren't exactly a waste in some categories,
it could be an input to something else.

13
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:52,677
We designed it
specifically to reduce consumables,

14
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:56,347
maintenance, startup time,
and other aspects

15
00:00:56,347 --> 00:01:00,643
that would allow us to take up the least space,
and also operate as easily as possible.

16
00:01:00,643 --> 00:01:06,566
We have another technology
named 'waste pod electrochemical treatment technology',

17
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:10,862
which is taking any dirty
water if it's black water, grey water,

18
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:14,783
and convert it into potable water
and non-potable water.

19
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:19,245
We are replacing the power
generated by the diesel fuel,

20
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:22,707
with power generated by the solar devices
and the wind devices.

21
00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:25,418
Basically what we've developed here
is the first step towards

22
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:29,464
an actual sustainable, long term solution
that involves circularizing

23
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:33,093
multiple aspects
that help support troops in the field,

24
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:36,471
but also have applications beyond defence
into civilian applications.

25
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:39,599
The smaller the footprint,
the more efficient you are, the better

26
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,103
it is for both the local resources
and the employed forces.
