Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is this technology proven?
Yes. It is at ready level 6 to 9 of 9, which means: already in use. From small units of 10 to 100 cubic metres an hour up to full factory size.
Can we try it on our own water first?
Yes. We test a sample in our NABL-accredited lab and, where it helps, run a small trial on your site before you invest in a full plant.
Do you supply and install it?
Yes. We design, supply, install and start up the system, train your staff, and our lab checks the treated water.
