Purifying water for use in the food and beverage industry, aquaculture, and the dairy industry is becoming an increasing problem due to pollution and an overall scarcity of available fresh water.
Taking this problem in mind, an Israeli company, Atlantium, began operations in 2003 to find solutions to water purification for these industries without the need for adding harmful chemicals to the water supplies.
The need for water disinfection in countries which have perennial chronic water problems, especially in countries like Israel, resulted in the research team at Atlantium making this need a mission and not just a business interest.
According to Atlantium’s CEO, Ilan Wilf, his company’s patented process, known as Hydro-Optic Disinfection solutions “deliver unprecedented microbial inactivation, taking cost-effective and environmentally-friendly water disinfection to levels never before attained.”
Known as Total Internal Reflection, or Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD), a uniform dose of ultraviolet light is distributed through the water to be disinfected in a uniform dose distribution (UDD), the result is the highest degree of disinfection, which the company claims is “unmatched in the industry”.
