Innovation & Technology Offer

Technology for inhibiting biofilm formation on the surface of drinking water pipe networks using nanoparticle composite

Country of Origin: South Korea
Reference Number: TOKR20170427001
Publication Date: 27 April 2017

Summary

A Korean SME has developed anti-microbial nano-composite that can be utilized to keep drinking water distribution network clean. The technology can be applied to plastic and steel water pipes to reduce possibility of biofilm formation, and thus increase the biological stability of tap water. It is cost saving and can be applied to many kinds of fluid-transporting pipes. The company is expecting to cooperate with a partner who is interested in a commercial, financial or joint venture agreement.

Description

A Korean company develops technologies based on innovation that can improve people’s lives on earth, and thus makes the lives healthier and happier. The company has taken out its first step in the field of ‘water’ and ‘in-door air quality’. 
By means of its invention, tap water will become safer to drink, and in-door air cleaner and healthier
Enhancing the quality of drinking water is an important issue in Korea as well as other countries for health and safety reasons.

Applying nano-ceramic composite is an effective and economic solution for the wide use of water.
The company’s developed technology is patented. Also, stable and safe nano-technology is embedded in the water pipe. The water pipe is a scientifically tested and proven product.

Possible cooperation with this Korean company would be a commercial agreement with technical assistance, financial agreement or joint venture agreement. Entering a European market by collaborating with local partners is the company’s goal. Therefore, any companies who could work on sales of the company’s product or who would like to apply the company’s technology with its own technology is welcomed. The company is open to form a joint venture company or get a financial investment as well.

Advantages and Innovations

The developed antimicrobial nano-ceramic composite has the following advantages.
- Safe, energy saving and cost effective when applied to pipe network system
- meets the OECD(Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) regulation
- reduces possibility of biofilm formation on the pipe surface
- increases the biological stability of tap water
- prolongs life-time of the pipes
- can be applied to prevent biofouling in many kinds of fluid-transporting pipes
