Purio operates to provide practical solutions to the growing global water crisis. The World Water Commission recently released startling facts in its recent 33 page report to further concern about the worlds growing water shortage. The report states that an estimated 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, three billion don’t have the means to access sanitized water, and another 500 million live in countries with barely enough water for their people. Furthermore the recent report indicates that world water consumption will increase by 40% over the course of the next twenty years as demand for personal, industrial and agricultural uses increase worldwide. When linked together the figures surrounding this crisis are staggering.
Purio’s first order of business was the acquisition of patented water treatment technology that has the potential to satisfy a significant demand for clean water suitable for human consumption, agricultural, industrial, domestic and recreational uses. The patented technology has a wide range of applicable capabilities including wastewater treatment, process water re-cycling, and drinking water production. The technology works as a continuous-flow water/suspended-solids primary separation system. The process mechanically separates suspended solids from liquids, without the use of membranes or filters. When the process is applied to residential wastewater, the solids can be further processed through various forms of bio-reduction technology including composting thereby creating a value-added by-product suitable for uses in agriculture, horticulture, or landscaping. It is believed the same clarification equipment; because of its versatility has similar potential for the economical reclamation of process water normally disposed of in industrial and agricultural applications such as food processing. Ever-rising energy prices are providing an increasing economic incentive to processors to re-cycle water whenever possible. Lastly, the technology is also capable of primary clarification of dirty surface water from ponds/rivers as a first stage in providing safe drinking water. Clarified water may be further sanitized by ozonation and polished by such means as Reverse Osmosis to become high-quality potable water.
With the technology in place Purio has positioned itself to substantially benefit from the growing world water market. Globally the water market is an estimated $400 billion dollars with indications that it will continue to grow in the long term. The industry supported by this water crisis is expected to grow exponentially in countries such as China and India specifically, because of their naturally high population, and higher then average pollution.
The Purio technology was independently tested by Canadian Environmental Technology Advancement Corporation-West (CETAC-WEST). Operational data from the test facility, a wastewater treatment plant serving a community of 120 homes over a nine month period and exceeded initial expectations. The evaluation confirmed the unit’s ability, alone, to meet “enhanced primary” treatment objectives in terms of BOD (biological oxygen demand) and TSS (total suspended solids). It exceeded expectations by reaching “tertiary” standards in phosphorus removal.
Purio Environmental Water Source Inc. appears poised to continue to grow its share in the market in the near future. With a strong corporate management team, lead by executives with vast experience in this cutting edge industry, Purio continues to grow its operations. The company has continued research to develop a second generation separator which utilizes the latest digital technology in its control system as well as other design modification to demonstrate improvements in cost of manufacturing, economy of operation, space-efficiency and simplicity. The company continues to strive in advancing its product development in an effort to improve the efficiency of its operations and its ability to deliver a strong product to the global market. With world wide awareness of the global water shortage growing exponentially it will be interesting to see the impact that Purio can make in its industry and the world.
