DUNDALK, Ireland and NEW YORK, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Aqua-Nu Filtration Systems Limited, an innovator of commercial point-of-use ceramic water filtration systems, today announced that it is making its advanced solutions available in the U.S. The company's filtration innovation - in the form of its Purity Capsule, Ultra-high Flow Rate Ceramic Filter and other proprietary products - represents a major leap forward in commercial water purification techniques. The solution delivers a breakthrough unassisted flow rate of 1.2 liters per minute at 100 millibar over a 32ml disc, which is 60 to 150 times faster than the closest competitor. It filters 99.99 percent of certain hazardous microbes such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Legionella and E.coli. These advantages reduce the threat of often-fatal water-borne bacteria commonly present in developed countries. With Aqua-Nu's filtration products, consumers can now access truly clean tap water at a price that is less than or comparable to existing products.
"Consumers should not have to choose between their health and the environment, but when it comes to drinking water, those are the options," said Aqua-Nu's chief executive officer, Patrick Farrelly. "Existing filtration technologies, while better than nothing, can't match Aqua-Nu's flow rates and filtration performance. There is a reasonable demand from U.S. consumers for drinking water that is healthy and affordable, and doesn't penalize the environment by adding more plastic waste to the country's landfills. Now, for the first time these demands can be met, giving consumers access to truly clean tap water."
Aqua-Nu's uniquely efficient, flexible and durable water filtration technology has performed well above industry standards and competing technologies in scientific tests conducted by independent laboratories, CAL Limited in Ireland, along with South East Water, Severn Trent and Eclipse in the UK. The company's solution eliminates some of the smallest and most deadly bacteria on contact, and is accommodated within a consumer friendly form factor - a small cap that fits neatly on top of bottles. The technology is suitable for volume manufacturing at a price that is competitive with conventional filtration systems.
"Having spent several years developing and testing our technology and selecting a worldwide distribution partner, we are now targeting initial market opportunities in the U.S.," continued Farrelly. "To this end, we are actively exploring licensing agreements or joint ventures with established U.S. companies in the drinking water and other markets. The performance advantages and affordability of our technology makes it an ideal fit for broad commercial applications, including water taps and jugs. It also holds potential for vending machines, fire protection systems, air conditioning and waste-water management, as well as other liquid filtration applications. We expect the technology to gain wide acceptance in the U.S. and to reshape the market for drinking water in the process."
