Problem
Industrial wastewater treatment often relies on expensive and unsustainable methods like activated carbon and ion exchange resins. Increasingly strict discharge limits can lead to heavy environmental fines for facilities that fail to meet regulatory standards. Traditional wastewater treatment systems can be complex, energy-intensive, and generate significant waste, hindering circular economy initiatives.
Solution
SIEve offers an advanced wastewater treatment solution using a regenerable filter derived from Bauxite Residue, a metallurgical slag. This innovative filter is designed for the physico-chemical treatment of industrial wastewater, providing an eco-sustainable alternative to conventional methods. The modular reactor system facilitates the removal of ionic and organic pollutants with low energy consumption. SIEve's technology enables rinse water recycling and the implementation of previously unsustainable production processes due to high wastewater treatment costs. The filter media has demonstrated high performance with over 15 regeneration cycles without any loss of efficiency.
Target Audience
SIEve targets industrial facilities, particularly those in the galvanic treatment sector, seeking to reduce wastewater treatment costs, comply with increasingly strict discharge limits, and improve environmental sustainability.
