CloudHarvest ™ is an innovative solution that tackles the rising frequency of droughts and water shortages caused by climate change. It offers a sustainable way to influence weather patterns and water availability in vulnerable regions. During severe droughts, cloud seeding has been proven as an...

The technology is a membrane-based system developed from waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) using electrospinning to create a nanofibrous material with superhydrophobic (water-repelling) and superoleophilic (oil-attracting) properties. It enables crude oil adsorption, recovery, and membrane...

MagNanoClean™ is an innovative method and apparatus for fluid treatment that leverages charged nanoparticles and a moving magnetic system to remove impurities efficiently and sustainably. In this process, contaminants are trapped by the charged nanoparticles suspended in a reactor. When activated...

AquaCarbon™ introduces a high-performance membrane technology designed for membrane distillation desalination. The innovation integrates multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to create a robust, highly hydrophobic, and porous structure capable of...

The AquaHarvest™ System is an innovative water generation technology that produces liquid water directly from air. It uses an air current generator and a specially designed flow body with a constricted section that cools incoming air to near its dew point. As the air exits the outlet, water...

The invention uses maghemite nanoparticles at pH levels below 5 to remove sulphate, manganese, copper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc ions from acid mine drainage (AMD). In traditional AMD treatment methods, these contaminants are usually removed only at higher pH levels, which requires expensive alkaline...

This technology offers an innovative and eco-friendly method for producing ferric chloride (FeCl₃), a commonly used coagulant in water purification, by recovering Fe(III) from acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD is a significant pollutant generated by mining activities and typically contains high levels...
