Odotech has developed leading-edge automated systems for the monitoring and management of industrial and municipal nuisance odors;

Odotech offers a full range of services and technologies relating to odor. In the last twelve years, Odotech has developed leading-edge commercial products, including automated systems for the monitoring and management of site odors (OdoScan) including electronic nose networks (OdoWatch). OdoScan and OdoWatch now allow the 24/7 monitoring of environmental odour emissions. The systems alert operators when odours begin to reach threshold values, enabling them to proactively respond before an odour problem occurs. OdoWatch helps reduce odour complaints while saving treatment chemical costs and achieving efficiencies. Furthermore, Odotech offers advance odor measurement tools which include the dynamic dilution olfactometer ODILE and the Flux hood OdoFlux for surface area gas sampling.

ProDalG’s is a Canadian company whose innovation utilizes industrial CO₂  in the production of valuable algal biomass & renewable oils. CO₂ injection efficiency and the effective use of light lie at the heart of ProDalG's Solution.  Through our control of light and efficient absorption of CO₂, we can grow algae faster, increasing production yield. Companies that use CO2 for cultivation of algae use a process called CO2 bubbling. This means that typically less than 10% of CO2 is absorbed efficiently while the rest escapes back into the atmosphere. Furthermore, ProDalG’s closed photobioractor controls and optimizes light internally so that it can penetrate at densities required for industrial production. The company has demonstrated a process that uses just 1% of the energy that would otherwise be required by using continuous artificial light.  ProDalG is pleased to have establishedimportant partnerships with industry and government, including relationships with the Ontario Centers of Excellence, MaRS and EADS Innovation works.As a result of the support, the company is now in a position to demonstrate it’s proof of concept before steering into a pilot project with an industrial partner.

ProDalG Biofuels Inc. is a Canadian company headquartered in Toronto at the MaRS Discovery District. ProDalG was co-founded by Dr. Eric Prouzet, CSO and Associate Professor of Chemistry and Nano Technology at the University of Waterloo and Mark Sales, CEO & President.
