Many people in America walk to the water cooler at work and pour a glass without thinking twice, while everyday an estimated 1.1 billion people around the world lack access to safe drinking water. An additional 500 million people reside in countries that do not have an adequate water supply for all of their citizens, and as agricultural, personal and industrial demand for clean water increases, these numbers will continue to rise. This is where Purio Environmental Water Source Inc. steps in to provide solutions to the current global water crisis.
Purio possesses patented technology and equipment for water treatment that is both versatile enough to work in many environments and capable of filtering a significant amount of water in a timely manner. The patented technology has a wide range of applications, including wastewater treatment, process water recycling, and drinking water production. The water that remains after the process is suitable for human consumption, as well as agricultural, industrial, domestic and recreational uses.
Purio’s purification process mechanically separates suspended solids from liquids, without the use of membranes or filters. When the process is applied to residential wastewater, the solids can be further processed through various forms of bio-reduction technology, including composting, thereby creating a value-added byproduct suitable for use in agriculture, horticulture, or landscaping. With this proven method, Purio hopes to cash in on the $400 billion global water market, specifically in countries in dire need of a solution.
The Washington-ased company has recently announced that, over the spring and summer of 2008, they will be conducting a two-phase demonstration of their product. The first phase will consist of turning polluted water into safe drinking water with two units being run at full capacity. This means that each machine will produce over 10,000 gallons of safe drinking water per day. The second phase of the demonstration will take place in the Town of Meath Park, where Purio will take sewage water and clarify and sanitize it. That water will than meet safe-disposal standards and be used for irrigation of nearby farms.
