TRL-4

Market and Economic Attractiveness

  • The technology involves the complete extraction and return of metals to galvanic production and post-treatment of natural and wastewater at low concentrations of heavy metals in the presence of hardness ions, which allows you to purify water without softening and desalination.

Main Advantages (Strengths) of the Device

  • The developed sorbents are promising in the creation of filtration plants that provide deep purification of natural and wastewater and post-treatment of tap water from heavy metal ions in the presence of hardness ions and bacterial contamination.
  • The proposed low-waste water demineralization technology involves regeneration or complex processing of sediments formed during water treatment.
  • The main competitors are ecosoft, FormulaVody

Main Characteristics
