Technological device for water disinfection and water treatment

Country of Origin: Bulgaria
Reference Number: TOBG20180913004
Publication Date: 14 September 2018

Summary

A Bulgarian SME has developed a unique and very effective device applicable in water treatment and disinfection, taste and odor improvement, reduction of residual chlorine and prevention of lime-scale formation. The company is looking for commercial agreements with technical assistance with industrial partners.

Description

The Bulgarian company has established traditions and experience in the development of technologies and products related to the treatment of different liquids for over 20 years. 



The quality of drinking water has always been of key importance for the quality of life. Often water contains substances that may impair taste and affect health, such as chlorine and chlorine compounds, microorganisms and bacteria, metals (such as copper and lead, that can occur as a result of domestic installation), etc. Moreover, the hardness of water also affects its quality.



The innovative device was developed with the intention to increase the quality of drinking water. The principle of operation is based on water flow swirls creating a vortex that generates mechanical oscillations in the sound and ultrasound range. The device functions on mechanical level and no chemical additives are needed. The aerator can be fitted to any water mixing tap (faucet) in households and other public or office buildings. Also, it does not need electricity in order to function. In this process high disinfection of water is achieved, eliminating up to 90% of the microorganisms and bacteria. Residual free chlorine is reduced from 15% to 20%. It prevents the formation of stains and lime-scale formation in households, public and office buildings (hospitals, rehabilitation centres, kindergartens, schools, colleges, hotels, restaurants, etc.). The ultrasonic aerator has a revitalising effect on water improving its taste qualities. It helps intensify the aroma of coffee, tea and other drinks prepared with the processed water.



The company seeks commercial agreements with technical assistance with industrial partners for the implementation of the technological product to the specific needs of the potential partnering company, providing the necessary expertise.
