Advanced technologies in water purification Engineering - Part II
Aquavus Technology Using Ultrasound Waves for Water Desalination and Refinement.
Aquavus is a superior system which is specially designed to purify and desalinate the ocean water with ultrasound waves. This technology was invented by the UK engineers and scientists. According to the CFO of the Aquavus team, a single unit of the purification system will treat 3000l, which is approximately 800 gallons of water each day.
The former lead of National Space Agency of Ukraine— NSAU, in charges the global research and development teams of Aquavus, which encompass specialists from Ukraine and other USSR countries. As per him, the system acts fast in utilizing the powerful ultrasound to blow up unclean water into particles of a size below ten microns; then the micro particles dissolve and condense, resulting in pure water.
A micro-organism to eat the pollutants
A research and development corporation in Ontario, Canada has modified the way wastewater has to be treated. By August 2014, the company Noble Purification was rolling out the filtration system utilizing microorganisms to consume the pollutants in water. However, the first system has to be installed in Peterborough.
The Euglena’s capability purification system was discovered by Adam Noble to treat the waste water; this research went long way and the CEO of the company carried it out for the Canada Wide science Fair still in the high school. According to a recent breakthrough revealed, Euglena can absorb a number of carried pollutants in water, ranging from phosphates to lead. This system works by controlling the algae bloom in the waste water and then fooling the Euglena by absorbing heavy metals, nutrients, pollutants and minerals from the environment. By September 2014 the company was planning to convert the Euglena biomass resultant from the system into biofuel, fertilizer, and food.
By this year end, the company has the plan to finish the first large-scale Euglena Bio Filtration model with its co-partners — Drain Brother’ Excavating, The Centre for Alternative Wastewater Treatment, and The City of Peterborough. This model would treat around 100,000 liters of waste water at a time and each day and it would also sequester around 32 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Noble Purification Company also declared the start of a Euglena Research Program (ERP) at Trent University. This program is particularly designed to be a joint endeavor to bring together the combined abilities of Trent researchers and students to better understand the unharnessed potential of Euglena. This would help to enhance the effectiveness of the purification technology and present a possibility to sequence its genome.
Tequatic Plus Fine Particle Filter
The TEQUATIC PLUS Fine Particle Filter is developed by Dow Water & Process Solutions (DW & PS). This system assists in processing a wide variety of difficult, high-solids water. This is a cost-efficient solution for wastewater treatment for mainly manifold industry verticals, which range from industrial wastewater treatment and reprocess applications in the pulp and paper, food, and beverage, textiles, and laundry market to mobile water treatment and oil and gas applications.
As per the business unit director for filtration at DW&PS, the TEQUATIC PLUS filter assist customers with bringing down their cost of ownership by a method of higher uptime and water recovery, and lower consumables and maintenance. This is in addition to decrease surcharges for waste removal from local treatment plants. R&D Magazine recognized the invention as a revolutionary solution for treating difficult, high-solids water.
