| Project Detail |
Almost all industrial applications require a high-water purity at some point of the process stage for manufacturing, in cooling towers, as boiler feed water rinsing, cleaning and ensuring product quality. The EU market for industrial process water purification is valued with 761M€/year with a growth rate of 5% annually. AQUA-PURTM system, developed by BIOAZUL, is a suitable system to penetrate this growing market. It is based on Membrane Distillation, is a fully automatic water purification process without any need of pretreatment or added chemicals. Compared to SotA, dependent on the type of application 35-85% of fresh water as well as 45% of electric energy can be saved. AQUA-PUR TM demonstrated during a test in an industrial laundry, to be a water and energy-efficient, economically accessible and profitable solution, reaching a 97% water efficiency and a resulting water purity that meets the demands of the rinsing and washing processes. AQUA-PURTM will facilitate the transition to a circular economy in the industrial water purification sector. Our business opportunity is reflected in a large number of EU-industrial establishments seeking to reduce their freshwater consumption and meet the environmental legislation for efficiency. There is a huge market potential for higher resource efficiency and less water footprint and, as an impelling factor of our business success, the current EU legal framework aims to promote water efficiency in the industry through innovative solutions.
