Water treatment is a huge challenge today. Because more than 2 billion people dont have access to clean water.
At the same time the water demand is rising and causes an increasing energy consumption. The energy production on the other hand causes a high water consumption.
Current water technologies are too complex or expensive to cope with this demand.
No matter which water treatment process we look at - waste water for the municipalities or the industry - the first step is always to seperate particles and organisms from the water.
Today, such particles are mainly separated by filter technologies. But filters have to be cleaned and replaced frequently.
Cyclone separators could be a filterless alternative. But conventional cyclones can only separate particles, which are either much havier or lighter than water.
CyFract is a novel cyclone technology which is able to separate particles, havier and lighter than water at the same time in a cost-efficient, energy-efficient and eco-friendly way.
