Abstract
We are witnessing an alarming level of contamination of our rivers, lakes, and even our drinking water, with highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. Existing water treatments face many drawbacks and do not effectively remove these harmful chemicals. We have developed a novel treatment technology that can completely remove a wide variety of these problematic pollutants from wastewater. Our technology is sustainable, cost-effective, easy to use, and highly scalable. To take our invention to market, we plan to build a wastewater treatment demonstrator to provide cleaning demonstrations on customer sites and gain their valuable testimonials.
Was ist das Besondere an diesem Projekt?
Our technology provides an efficient solution to overcome the shortcomings of existing treatments by employing highly reactive radical species that can efficiently degrade any organic contaminant from their vicinity in a non-selective manner. Our novel catalytic material continously generates large doses of these radicals, in-situ, by harnessing energy from multiple clean sources, for efficient water remediation. Our technology delivers additional benefits such as fast reaction times, safe wastewater handling practises, and re-usability over multiple treatment cycles.
Apart from providing these significant advantages, our technology also imposes many positive impacts on our society, environment, and climate including, improving the quality of our surface water, protecting health of aquatic species, fighting antibiotic resistance and reducing CO2 emissions.
Stand/Resultate
We are working on developing our portal wastewater treatment demonstrator to provide on-site cleaning demonstrations to our customers.
