In the face of reduced water resources, people in many parts of the world suffer from disease and death due to long-term consumption of unclean water. Especially in poor and backward areas, because of the inability to invest in the construction of water plants, the harm caused by drinking unclean water to people's health is becoming more and more serious. According to statistics, there are 1.6 million children under the age of 5 in the world who die every year because they drink untreated water. A new type of wastewater treatment technology being developed by an Israeli company may, in the near future, significantly reduce the health risks of people living in areas without clean water.
Watersheer, located in the high-tech park of Ben Gurion International Airport, is a high-tech innovation company with only five employees, but the water treatment technology they developed is a new low-cost, fast processing and small size. A generation of water treatment technology devices. The system was named after the Greek mythology, the Sulis Personal Purification System (PPS). This device, which carries the pharmaceutical ingredients needed to treat the sewage, is only 10 grams in weight and 7 centimeters in length. Like a cork, it can be placed at the exit of bottles, containers and faucets. When the dirty water in the bottle (container) flows through the processor, it can be quickly and effectively cleaned, and then the water that flows out becomes clean water that can be directly consumed.
According to researchers who developed the technology, this cork-like sewage treatment unit has a long service life and can be used to purify 1000 liters of water. The company's president, Daisy Sandak, said that the reliability of PPS has been tried by hikers and soldiers in field exercises, and the results are very good. Although the technology requires further laboratory demonstration and review, it is fully responsive to general market needs. The company is preparing to start mass production in June, and its cost is estimated to be only the price of a large cup of coffee or cake in a Starbucks coffee shop. He also hopes to find a partner to turn the technology into a market product as soon as possible.
In addition, the company is developing another water treatment system called Sokol, which has strong wastewater treatment capacity and can get about 100 liters of clean water in half an hour. An emergency situation in which water plants stop water supply caused by disasters, etc. Science and technology daily
