Warranium Energy advances Wastewater Treatment

Cover-1-Water-Management-2022-Startups-StartUs-Insights-noresizeFounding Year: 2019
Location: New Delhi, India
Partner with Warranium Energy for Submerged Aerated Filters or Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors

Indian startup Warranium Energy develops treatment solutions for commercial and industrial wastewater. Its submerged aerated filter, WarraniumSAF, passes the wastewater through a matrix where biomass consumes the organic matter. A settlement tank then cleans the water that segregates itself from the support grid, eliminating the need for a sludge recirculation system. The startup’s WarraniumMBBR product is a moving bed bioreactor that removes organic substances along with nitrification and denitrification.

ColFerroX enables Groundwater Purification

Cover-2-Water-Management-2022-Startups-StartUs-Insights-noresizeFounding Year: 2019
Location: Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
Funding: USD 17 100
Partner with ColFerroX for Heavy Metal Filtration

ColFerroX is a German startup that advances groundwater purification. It offers an in-situ technology for the immobilization and complexation of various types of cyanides, heavy metals, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The purification process involves injecting iron oxide nanoparticles with a high surface area into aquifers. The small particles precipitate away from the injection point, forming large underground permeable reaction barriers that absorb the pollutants. Moreover, with easy installation of the system, the startup enables water utilities to remove contamination from aquifers with no interruption to regular supply.

AQUALITAS offers Real-time Water Quality Monitoring

Cover-3-Water-Management-2022-Startups-StartUs-Insights-noresizeFounding Year: 2020
Location: Haifa, Israel
Partner with AQUALITAS to Check Water Quality

Israeli startup AQUALITAS provides real-time water quality monitoring. Its modular system, AQUALITAS OMNIS, consists of a set of sensors that collects data on total organic carbon, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH level, dissolved oxygen, and presence of nitrates, among others. The startup’s cloud platform translates this data into insights. This enables water distributors to take immediate action to reduce maintenance costs while improving the efficiency of the water infrastructure. Additionally, the sensors recalibrate automatically, eliminating the need for manual calibration, further cutting maintenance expenses.

Finapp facilitates Water Leak Detection

Cover-4-Water-Management-2022-Startups-StartUs-Insights-noresizeFounding Year: 2019
Location: Padua, Italy
Funding: USD 220 000
Partner with Finapp for Soil Moisture Measurement

Finapp is an Italian startup that provides water leak detection solutions using its cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) technology. The hardware is installable on any vehicle, allowing utility providers to investigate water content in soil by driving along the aqueduct pipelines. As any water leaks along the aqueducts significantly increase the humidity of the soil below, Finapp’s solution detects the same with CRNS. Additionally, the system finds application in agriculture as it enables farmers to measure the soil moisture and plan irrigation accordingly. For hydroelectricity companies, it determines the amount of water trapped inside the snow.

vorteX.io provides River Monitoring Solutions

Cover-5-Water-Management-2022-Startups-StartUs-Insights-noresizeFounding Year: 2019
Location: Toulouse, France
Partner with vorteX.io for Flood Prevention

French startup vorteX.io offers real-time measurements for river monitoring to prevent floods and droughts. After installing the startup’s proprietary micro-stations, users monitor their watersheds via a web platform or application programming interface (API). The solution then processes and transmits the hydrological measurements in real-time. vorteX utilizes a hybridization of the global system for mobile communication (GSM) and IoT space connectivity system to achieve this. Moreover, on detecting abnormalities, the solution notifies the concerned organizations of protecting populations, enabling the safety of people and property.
