BioWater
Only 3% of the world’s water is freshwater, and two- thirds of that is hidden in frozen glaciers or unavailable for us to use. As a result, about 1.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to water and a total of 2.7 billion people find water scarce for at least one month of the year. A lack of clean water limits access to safe drinking water and essential sanitation at home, at school, and in health care facilities.
The microalgae used in Biowater can remove carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from water and aid disinfection due to the increase in pH during photosynthesis.
BioWater is an advanced water purification system designed to address the global challenge of freshwater scarcity. Leveraging the natural properties of microalgae and integrating cutting- edge technology, BioWater offers an efficient and sustainable solution for treating contaminated water.

How BioWater Works
1
Microalgae Purification Unit:Contaminant Removal
The core of BioWater is its purification unit, which uses microalgae to remove harmful substances from water. Microalgae are capable of extracting carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from the water. These elements are often present in wastewater and contribute to water pollution.
2
Disinfection Through Photosynthesis
During photosynthesis, microalgae increase the pH of the water, which aids in disinfection. The higher pH levels create an environment that is less hospitable to many pathogens, thereby improving the water’s safety.
3
Oxygen Production
Photosynthesis also produces oxygen, which supports the growth of heterotrophic bacteria. These bacteria play a crucial role in the biological treatment of wastewater by breaking down organic matter, further purifying the water.
