The award highlights the importance of collaboration in achieving significant milestones. Delft University of Technology contributed essential technological expertise, while Rabobank, YES!Delft, and other supporters provided critical backing for CIWI’s vision of sustainable water solutions.
A special acknowledgement is extended to Brabant Water N.V. for offering a real-world testing environment, enabling the practical application of CIWI’s innovative ideas.
CIWI (Chemical Innovations in Water Industries) has developed an innovative electrochemical technology that produces metal-based treatment agents on-site, aiming to transform water treatment processes. This approach reduces reliance on traditional chemicals like iron chloride, minimizes supply chain dependencies, and decreases environmental impact.
The technology is versatile, applicable across various sectors including drinking water, industrial water treatment, and wastewater management. It effectively removes contaminants such as phosphates and hydrogen sulfide, enhancing water quality and treatment efficiency.
