Business outlook

The company expects to see continued strong growth as a result of the following factors:

  • Fabrication of an additional RO unit is complete pending commissioning, which now provides the company with two sets of equipment. Manufacturing is in progress of additional equipment including an emergency response unit.
  • The successful completion of two major remediation projects has demonstrated the efficiency and robustness of the company's equipment, allowing FFT to offer clients the ability to clean saline spills, as well as produced and frack water returns to potable water standards.
  • The industry's continued focus on contaminated water issues such as tailing ponds is providing the company with expanding market opportunities.
  • An aggressive marketing program in Western Canada and the southern United States has resulted in strong and favourable inquiries from several major producers.
  • The company's expanded shop facilities now include testing facilities, allowing the company to provide clients with complete engineering solutions for their water needs.
