Project objective
Climate change & water stress are changing the way we source drinking water. Although we have the technology to “clean” our drinking water, the same processes also strip out minerals essential to maintaining human health – especially water from desalination plants. Calcium & magnesium are macrominerals essential to human health: insufficient intake of either can increase the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes & neurodegenerative diseases. Water is not considered a major source of minerals, but it should be: the bioavailability of magnesium dissolved in water is 12 times higher than in solid tablets/capsule. As such, the WHO recommends that where possible the water should be re-mineralized with calcium and magnesium. Remineralization has proved to be prohibitively expensive, laborious & limited in impact due to creating significant waste streams. There are no available solutions to cost effectively add magnesium to water & adding calcium is fraught with issues. Watefy have revolutionized the water mineralization process through the exploitation of the little-known physical phenomenon of developed hydrodynamic cavitation & vaporous and gaseous supercavitation. To exploit this phenomenon, we have designed WMT – a simple, modular mineralization system, comprised of a Gasifier, Calcite/Magnesium Dissolver & Degasser. This revolutionary process, currently at TRL 6, overcomes the existing challenges of high cost in terms, reducing construction & maintenance costs by over 90%. This process is the first to recover & re-use CO2 generated during the initial carbonation phase, eliminating a waste stream that currently adds to the high cost of desalination. Operational costs are reduced by 95% for producing high quality, healthy water. The company is looking for funding to validate the technology at industrial scale & transform the water industry beginning with desalination plants, expected to reach €23.9 billion by 2025.
