W.02 Water science

AENXIC.The science beneath the system.

Electrochemical processes, advanced materials and composite membrane architecture — aimed at heavy metals and microbial contamination.

01 Mechanism

Three things happen in the treatment zone

  1. Ionic contaminants migrateAn applied field moves heavy-metal and other ionic species toward active surfaces.
  2. Contaminants are retainedComposite materials hold what has migrated, so it leaves with the cartridge rather than the water.
  3. Microbial cells are treatedElectrochemical conditions in the same zone act on microorganisms as water passes through.

02 Intended contexts

Where it is meant to be used

A

Groundwater with metals

Sources where heavy-metal contamination is the main concern.

B

Community supply

Shared infrastructure that needs low energy use and simple servicing.

C

Remote sites

Places without reliable grid power or high-pressure pumping.

03 Terms

Reading the numbers

Recovery
The share of feed water delivered as product water.
Reject
The share of feed water discarded instead of delivered.
Removal efficiency
How much of a given contaminant is removed. It depends on the contaminant and source water, so one figure never covers all cases.
Specific energy
Electrical energy used per litre of treated water, measured under stated operating conditions.
