About Aarya Shahsavar

Figure 1 : This image captures the moment that Aarya Shahsavar drank the recycled wastewater after it had been purified to potable water during a presentation to visitors at CFB Suffield, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Circular City's water purification system and its potential for wider applications.

Aarya Shahsavar is a professional engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience designing solutions for water reuse, recycling, and sustainable infrastructure. He is the CEO of Innocorps Research Corporation and served as Chief Engineer of Circular City, where his team won the Department of National Defence's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Pop Up City Contest in 2023.

The contest, a multi-year X-Prize-style competition, tasked teams with re-imagining relocatable military camps by reducing energy, water, and waste requirements. Under Aarya's engineering leadership, the Circular City consortium:

• Deployed the world's first mobile direct potable water reuse system, safely recycling wastewater into drinking water meeting Health Canada's standards.

• Achieved 90-95% recovery ratios through advanced batch reverse osmosis technology.

• Integrated carbon-neutral heating by linking solid waste-to-energy systems with water systems, reducing fuel demand.

• Demonstrated tenfold solid waste reduction and a fully deployable microgrid with solar, battery, and generator integration.

He has been an advocate for circularity as a sustainability pathway, speaking at venues such as COP28. His mission is to create technologies that enable sustainable living on Earth and beyond.

Role at American Antimony Corporation

In his new role as ExecutiveVice President of Engineering and Director, Aarya will:

• Guide metallurgical process design for antimony and gold recovery, ensuring low arsenic feed translates into cleaner concentrates and fewer treatment penalties.

• Apply circular utility principles to remote camp and infrastructure design, reducing energy, water, and waste costs during project development.

• Strengthen the Company's Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) platform, aligning with stakeholder and permitting requirements.
