Klearwater Equipment & Technologies Corp. is a member and contributor to such organizations as the Alberta Water and Wastewater Operators Association, the British Columbia Water and Waste Association and the Western Canada Water and Wastewater Association. Over the past 10 years, regular papers and seminars have been given, many of which are published on the various organization websites. Of particular note is a paper outlining coagulant selection techniques which was recognized by the American Waterworks Association as being the “most technically thorough presentation of its kind.” For this reason, they have requested Klearwater’s permission to distribute this paper to all members throughout North America.

We have outlined some of the papers presented, and at the bottom of the page we have provided links to several papers that are included in the Klearwater Educational Forum Series.
