Plastic recycling processes involve using a lot of water, In order to avoid this waste, Ak Inovex from Mexico developed a new green technology that doesn’t require water, and has the capacity to process materials such as styrofoam, polystyrene and ABS  

The Danish entrepreneur and CEO of the global cleantech company Aquaporin, Peter Holme Jensen, has been awarded the prestigious European Inventor Award 2014 for the invention of a water-purifying membrane coated with aquaporins, which purifies water without consuming large amounts of energy.

Hydraulic engineer Andrea Schäfer and photovoltaics expert Bryce Richards have developed a solar filtration system to produce high-quality drinking water from polluted brackish water and tested it successfully in Tanzania. The test results are currently being analyzed at the KIT. The filter effectively separates undesired substances, bacteria, and viruses. Fluoride concentration that often is extremely high in Tanzania is reduced below the limit given by the World Health Organization (WHO).

US EPA’s 503 sludge rule (1993) allows treated sewage sludges, aka biosolids, to be land-applied to farms, forests, parks, school playgrounds, home gardens and other private and public lands. According to a recent EPA survey, biosolids contain a wide range of mutagenic and neurotoxic chemicals, which are present at a million-fold higher concentrations (ppm versus ppt) compared with their levels in polluted air and water (1).

The Vortab Elbow Flow Conditioner from the Vortab Company aims to eliminate the problem of finding room for the recommended straight pipe run needed by electromagnetic flow meters in sewage lift stations, by removing swirl and asymmetric velocity profiles caused by pumps placed too close to the meter.
