Energy & Environment
3-minute Smart Water Treatment Technology utilizes fibrous filter media to efficiently remove high concentrations of suspended solids, hospital-based microorganisms, and other impurities.
Issue to Tackle
- Prevents water contamination caused by turbidity, algae, and hospital-based microorganisms.
- Provides water purification facilities for remote areas where access to clean water treatment is difficult.
Expected Benefits
- Reduces production time and costs to 1/100th for existing purification plants, with a footprint 1/100th the size, 1/3 of the construction costs, and 1/5 of the construction time, ensuring economic feasibility.
- Improves quality of life and public health by supplying safe and affordable drinking water to regions with poor infrastructure, such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.
Key Services
- Produces industrial and drinking water by coagulating raw water impurities, sedimenting and filtering through microfiber precoat filtration (PCF), and treating with reverse osmosis (RO)
- Allows remote control and monitoring through smart water purification systems.
Key Components
Configuration
Technology
PCF Filter Filtration Process
- Compresses raw water through micro-fiber filter media to maximize filtration efficiency.
PCF Filter Backwashing Process
- Releases compressed fibers and uses large amounts of air and water to thoroughly clean the filter media.
Remote Operation and Monitoring
- Enables system operation and status checks through an internet connection
Automated Backwashing and Optimal Agent Injection
- Automatically manages backwashing processes, including washing pressure, duration, and flow rates. Adjusts chemical injection volumes based on raw water quality to optimize system efficiency.
PCF filter Core-Technology
Use Case
- In public sectors, systems have been introduced to 14 village purification facilities in Ansan City, wastewater reuse in Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), and other locations.
- Private sectors, including POSCO and Samsung Electronics have adopted the system for drinking, industrial, and wastewater treatment with RO processing.
- Internationally, systems have been implemented in developing countries, such as water purification facilities in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America, with 304 purification facilities established in Indonesia alone.
