Problem
Industrial processes often generate large volumes of wastewater that must be treated and disposed of, incurring high costs and consuming valuable freshwater resources. Existing treatment solutions are typically energy‑intensive and do not facilitate water reuse, limiting the ability of manufacturers to meet growing water demand sustainably.
Solution
Kira delivers integrated water‑treatment systems that combine advanced control algorithms with specialized power‑electronics hardware to optimize treatment cycles and minimize liquid waste. By tightly coordinating pumps, valves, and sensors, the system reduces the volume of wastewater requiring disposal by more than 50% while simultaneously increasing the amount of reclaimed freshwater available for reuse in the same process. The technology is designed for modular deployment across a range of industrial applications, enabling plants to lower operating expenses, meet stricter water‑use regulations, and improve overall resource efficiency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and process industries (e.g., chemicals, food & beverage, textiles) that require large‑scale water treatment and seek to lower disposal fees while increasing water reuse.
