Puralytics, a US-based water purification company, has designed and manufactured the new Shield 1500, a water purification unit that employs LEDs to spur a nanotechnology mesh in order to power light-activated water purification processes.
This system achieves advanced disinfection and detoxification, sterilises pathogens and breaks down organic compounds.
Flexible in configuration, this unit has a small footprint and is easy to integrate and operate.
Besides, it has low pressure drop and low maintenance requirements with no chemicals additives required and has zero discharge. The unit is manufactured in the US.
Puralytics CEO Rick Lockett said: “Our nano-technology powered catalyst mesh is Puralytics’ core technology. It has tremendous capabilities to be applied to different types of units in water treatment.
“This innovative product, the Shield, has had great success in several pilot applications; with all the improvements, it will expand into new product formats and market applications. This advance provides us a design and performance road map for future applications of the Puralytics materials in partner devices and systems.”
The Shield was employed in several applications. It was used to treat wastewater from analytical, medical, bioscience and research labs.
Further, it has been the core part of water kiosks in remote areas of Mexico.
In Sudan, several Shields had been installed in banks to provide drinking water to their customers.
The new version produces up to 1500 gallons of water per day. It has 33% lower unit energy use, up to 90% lower unit consumables cost and reduced maintenance time.
Among the other enhancements include: lower pretreatment requirements and an active electronics cooling system to allow operation in hotter environments.
Also, it is compatible with much broader pumping options for off-grid applications and it has 150% higher flow capacity but similar performance on most contaminants.
Puralytics senior product development engineer Taylor Stockton said: “We are enthusiastic about the new Shield. This novel version will reduce cost significantly and therefore it’s going to be more accessible for applications around the globe.”
Puralytics is working on the Shield series for release later this year, including the High Flow Shield and Nano Shield for modular system applications.
