Wastewater treatment
NTPmax
Company: Tectero B.V.
Category: Waste water treatment
Product description: Tectero offers containerised Non Thermal Plasma Reactor technology as a novel technique to treat PFAS- and other POP-contaminated waters. Where other techniques such as active coal filtration rely on solely removing PFAS, Tectero's approach doesn't remove but actually destroys the PFAS molecules which means that no secondary waste stream is created. With electricity as its only consumable and the ability to switch on and off the system in seconds, the technique is fit for zero emission setup.

L-GAP MD
Company: RN Solutions B.V.
Category: Innovation not to market yet
Product description: The hydraulic design of the L-GAP MD module prevents the occurrence of both temperature and concentration polarisation. The unique diamond shaped feed spacer ensures mixing in the feed channel perpendicular to the direction of flow and the membrane. This way, cooling of the membrane by evaporation of water is compensated and salts are moved away from the membrane surface. This way a flux of 10 LMH can be reached at a feed temperature of 50 degrees C. Competitors reach 2 LMH at 80 degrees C.
Fluor-Mop Technology
Company: Weaver Labs
Category: Innovation not to market yet
Product description: Our technology removes PFAS from water to non-detect levels. Fluor-Mop removes short- and long chain PFAS fast and efficient and treats up to 8x the water volume compared to conventional technologies. It is the lowest life-cycle cost solution. Straightforward on-site regeneration produces a highly concentrated PFAS-rich waste stream, optimal for emerging PFAS destruction technologies and reducing their energy costs. Fluor-Mop is a platform technology with more applications in detection and more.
