TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2021 / Forward Water Technologies Corporation. ("FWT", Forward Water or the "Company") (TSXV:FWTC) is pleased to announce a corporate update on the business development activities of their patented Forward Osmosis technology solution.

The Company's patented Forward Osmosis solution has the potential to significantly reduce water usage in many industrial use applications. Currently, many industrial users will dispose of their water permanently, which in the Company's view, is detrimental to the environment. By using the Company's patented Forward Osmosis technology solution, industrial users can reduce water consumption by as much as 90% in many industrial applications. Potential corporate clients will achieve immediate benefits; saving water from being permanently destroyed, and additionally realizing large reductions in their operating expenses associated with legacy water solutions. In this way, Forward Water believes they have created a "win-win" for the corporate water user and the environment.

With the recent addition to their sales team as well as working closely with various marketing platforms, FWT is positioned to actively and aggressively introduce the world to their Forward Osmosis patented technology solution. Forward Water has completed trial-runs at a commercially viable scale that has met or exceeded all expectations and have been proven to be effective on a large scale. In addition to the initial funds raised, and their go-public transaction, this allows FWT to pursue its aggressive growth strategy and execute on their business plan.
