CarboNet provides a Water Treatment Production Platform
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Vancouver, Canada
Partner for: Removing Water Contaminants
Canadian startup CarboNet uses nanotechnology to remove water contaminants in industrial-scale water treatment and recycling systems. It utilizes drug delivery polymers that maximize the level of targeting to separate contaminants out into a clumped mass called floc. CarboNet’s products include NanoNet FeP, an efficient flocculant that deploys into existing treatment systems, and NanoNet Fe, a water treatment coagulant additive that features a proprietary blend of surfactants and polymers. CarboNet’s range of products provides economical solutions to solve water treatment challenges in large-scale industries such as oil and gas, mining, and wastewater treatment.
3G Chemical Solutions offers Chemical Deodorizers
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Bessemer, USA
Partner for: Chemical Sanitization
US-based startup 3G Chemical Solutions creates specialty chemicals for maintenance, industrial, and janitorial supplies. Its Odor Bane 2 solution neutralizes and deodorizes malodors from smoke, vomit, urine, floodwaters, and more. The chemical solution removes negative odors and improves the effectiveness of cleaning efforts. The startup’s products find applications in the automotive sector, as well as in municipalities, power plants, universities, and hospitals.
Innovacarbon advances Carbon Nanotube Adsorbent Filters
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Agrate Brianza, Italy
Partner for: Industrial Effluent Treatment & Pollutant Recovery
Italian startup Innovacarbon creates water purification filters using carbon nanotubes. The startup deploys chemical adsorbent filters that remove pollutants, such as oils, dyes, and hydrocarbons. The filters ensure a high degree of efficiency and can be regenerated multiple times for reuse. Moreover, the adsorbent material, composed of carbon nanotubes supported by an inert material, is adaptable to accommodate different types of wastewater treatment processes. Through this solution, industries that produce chemical water pollution recover the pollutants as well as clean the water.
NX Filtration develops Nanofiltration Membrane Technology
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Enschede, Netherlands
Partner for: Water Softening
Dutch startup NX Filtration develops hollow fiber membranes and modules for ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. Its Ultra range of ultrafiltration membrane is based on modified polyethersulfone (PES) chemistry that retains microorganisms, yeast, and suspended particles while allowing salts, proteins, and smaller organic molecules to pass through. Additionally, the membranes have high chlorine tolerance, pH and allow high control of the membrane fouling rate. NX Filtration’s filters have smaller pore sizes, resulting in stable filtration, with applications in reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment, potable water production, and wastewater treatment, among others.
Cyclo Pure develops Water Purification Materials
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Encinitas, USA
Partner for: Pesticides, Pharmaceutical Residue
US-based startup Cyclo Pure develops adsorbent and sustainable materials for the quick removal of micropollutants from water. The startup’s formulation is effective against a diverse range of chemical compounds, including perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoro-alkyl substances (PFAS) compounds. Moreover, it uses corn-based cyclodextrins that are renewable, reusable, and cost-effective. The removal of micropollutants facilitates lower dosing, higher flow rates, and decreased fouling. This makes the technology ideal for water purification in homes and municipal wastewater plants.
