Sistema PQUA potabiliza aguas residuales (Azteca Noticias)

A handful of Mexican engineers out of Jhostoblak Corporate have developed a process to recover and purify both seawater and wastewater that takes a mere 2.5 minutes. The company hopes that unclear water, regardless of the content of pollutants and microorganisms, can be taken from households, hotels, hospitals, commercial and industrial facilities and recycled back for safe human consumption.

Their system, dubbed PQUA, dissociates pollutants from water on a molecular level by using specific amounts of different elements. The mixture works to recover the minerals necessary for the human body to function. According to the firm, no gases, odors, or toxic elements that may damage the environment, human health, or quality of life are generated in the process.

Utilizing gravity to save energy, the pilot plant is able to remove organic and inorganic solids as a sludge that settles at the bottom of the reactor. The sludge is removed and examined to determine if it can have any application as fertilizer or manufacture construction materials. The remaining liquid goes on to many more steps of purification, such as removing dissolved elements, turbidity, odors, colors, and flavors. At the end of the line, the finished product is treated with ozone to ensure purity.
