Research theme

Development of a mass production-ready "Small-scale, decentralised water recycling system for residential use"

Business Plan

To create a structural solution to the world's water problems, this R&D project will advance the development of a mass production-ready "small-scale, decentralised water recycling system for residential use" (achieving significant reduction of water treatment costs and versatility of design to be used around the world). This system will offer the advanced treatment capabilities of large-scale facilities but on a scale 100,000 times smaller and feature autonomous control technology for water purification.

Research Outline

In order to establish small-scale decentralised water recycling systems as a new standard for water infrastructure that can be used economicaly and universally around the world, R&D will be carried out with a focus on significantly reducing water treatment costs.
