Problem
Water treatment facilities often rely on traditional chemical agents like iron chloride (FeCl₃) and iron sulfate (FeSO₄), leading to supply chain vulnerabilities, chemical hazards, and environmental concerns related to transportation and production. These chemicals can also contribute to salination and acidification of treated water, requiring additional pH control measures.
Solution
CIWI offers on-site electrochemical devices that produce water treatment agents, reducing dependence on traditional chemicals and minimizing associated risks. By generating treatment agents directly at the facility, CIWI cuts supply chain dependencies by 85% and eliminates chemical hazards associated with handling and storage. The system also reduces salt buildup from chloride and sulfate, potentially removing the need for pH control. When powered by green energy, CIWI's solution can lower Scope 3 carbon emissions from metal salts by 50%.
Target Audience
CIWI's primary customers are water treatment facilities seeking to reduce their reliance on traditional chemicals, minimize environmental impact, and improve operational efficiency.
