The Irish company has been specialising in the drinking/portable water market since 2004 and they have developed a product that is environmentally friendly for this market.
The advanced ceramic properties of the product is capable of inhibiting the growth or reproduction of bacteria and provides for long extended product usage life without the need of regular rigorous clean regimes to maintenance filtering performance.
The pod technology developed by the company is small in size and involves a high surface area advanced porous ceramic material to provide filtration function suited to many liquids including water, wine and beer. The technology remains active for 6 months and is capable of treating up to 1,000 litres of water. The technology can remove aerosol transmitted microbiology from air as well.
The fluids (including aerosols) flow through the ceramic and are worked on through (a) pore value (b) torturous tract (c) adsorption, which is the electro static action of the material, that attracts and binds particles which can be as much as 1000 times smaller than the smallest pore in the ceramic.
Advantages & innovations
The advantages of purifying technology developed by the Irish company include:
- Prevents bacteria from forming in a body of water.
- Eliminating bio-films protecting and keeping water contact
surfaces pristine clean.
- Absorbs many soluble impurities.
- Maintains freshness.
- Balances pH improving alkalinity.
- Eliminates chlorine, bad taste and stale odours
These advantages result in safer, tastier drinking water for the consumer with a lower vessel/container cleaning maintenance regime necessary to keep water drinking vessels safe for potable water usage.
Stage of development
Already on the market
Partner sought
The company is looking to establish long term business relationships through a distribution services agreement with:
1) Manufacturer of the ceramic materials
2) Individual product interests such as shower manufacturers and distributors
3) Companies in household filtration and distribution
4) Companies interested in investigation into air filtration, from personal masks up to air-planes
5) Companies interested in investigation into filtration of beverages
The distribution company would not be involved in the branding activities but involved in sales and marketing of the product. The expectations of a cooperation are the opening up of new markets.
