Using Hydroxyl radicals, for the first time water of the poorest quality can be disinfected sustainably without the need for expensive pre treatment or added chemicals.
About
The AQR Safe Water® system delivers powerful disinfection, eliminating the need for expensive and complex pre-treatment that other disinfection treatments require. AQR technologists have harnessed the natural properties of the Hydroxyl radical to develop AQR Safe Water® - a unique, treatment module for the poorest water quality, with efficacy demonstrated down to 12% UV Transmittance (UVT). If your water is highly coloured, or you need to meet very challenging discharge requirements, AQR Safe Water® can disinfect where no existing processes can. When a finer quality of water is needed, the low energy AQR Safe Water® system upgrades conventional GAC filtration and ion exchange to deliver high quality treatment. These powerful Hydroxyl radicals seek and destroy organics, bacteria and other pollutants making water cleaner and safe for use, reuse or discharge in a sustainable/environmentally friendly way.. Once treatment has taken place the Hydroxyl radicals simply disappear.
Key Benefits
For the first time poor quality, low UVT water can be disinfected sustainably on a small scale. -Cost effective solution to currently unsolved challenge -Each module can operate using low power (equivalent to a light bulb) -No added chemicals -No need for expensive pre-treatment
Applications
AQR Safe Water® is ideally suited to water disinfection that other processes cannot cost effectively achieve: -Industrial process water for re-use or discharge safely -Surface water/rainwater storage for safe domestic or small community use
