Problem
Conventional disinfection relies on chemical additives, mercury‑based UV lamps, or large‑scale equipment that require extensive maintenance and generate hazardous waste. These approaches limit deployment in residential settings, remote locations, and industries seeking rapid, on‑demand pathogen control for water, air, and surfaces.
Solution
AquiSense delivers purpose‑built UV‑C LED systems that replace chemicals and mercury lamps with solid‑state emitters engineered for high germicidal efficacy. Patented optical designs integrate wavelength‑selected LEDs into compact modules that can be installed in point‑of‑use water treatment units, HVAC ducts, or surface‑exposure chambers. The LEDs provide instant on/off operation, are temperature‑independent, and support unlimited on‑cycle cycling, enabling continuous or intermittent disinfection without degradation. In‑house optical, electrical, and mechanical engineering ensures tight tolerances and reliable performance across residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial deployments. Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and ISO 9001:2015 standards, the solutions deliver chemical‑free pathogen control while reducing energy consumption and lifecycle costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers include municipal water and wastewater utilities, commercial building and HVAC managers, healthcare facilities, transportation operators, and OEMs developing point‑of‑use disinfection products for residential or remote community applications.
