 If you do not have power supply: sun is enough.

 Remote places or hardly accessible: mobile potabilisation.

 Cutting edge technology with optimized cost and highest attainable sustainability.

Immediate delivering of drinking water wherever it is required. This was the idea of Toni Cuevas, CEO de Waterologies, a company from Igualada/Barcelona that seeks solutions water potabilisation where there is a lack of energy supply and water treatment infrastructures.

One of the first fruits of this challenge is a moving treatment plant that will turn into drinkable a source of pit water in Guinea Conakry. This Igualada based company aim to produce serially this equipment, that can be used in remote places where no other energy source but sun is available, or in emergency and catastrophe cases, a fast solution of drinking water availability is

required.

Yesterday in Anoia river, a first test in real environment was performed with excellent results, celebrated with a toast with the obtained water by Waterologies team. A captation pump was introduced in the area of Vilanova del Camí Parc Fluvial, and once the hoses connected, the brown water from the river showed instantly a clear -and nice taste- outlet after being processed

by the device circuit. The system capacity is able to treat 1.000 liters per hour, slightly less if the captation deep is below 40 metters. Carlos Martin, product manager, explains that the philosophy is to simplify to the maximum the operation, in order of “in no more than 10 minutes” water treatment can be done by pressing a button. Marin arguments: “We don’t know who will be

the final user and we don’t want to request a very specialised training”. The machine incorporates geolocalization and a web server, what enable its remote activity monitoring. The chemical processes that take place inside the box do the

rest. With a sole exception: depending on the working time and the water salinity, some common salt must be added.

The treatment plant works with a solar pannel system that stores the energy in batteries, what enables to keep autonomy during the night or in cloudy weather.

Cuevas stresses that the basic future infrastructures must follow this sustainable and fast implementing model.

Luisa Huerta, project manager, explains that the equipment production was mostly completed with the help of local suppliers. For the further serial production, it is intended to build the machine in a trailer to facilitate the transport.

SOLARDISTECH aim to bring a solution at a world scale problem that involves safety and health for people.
Our developent is a backpack that makes water drinkable. This backpack is equipped with a pump that, when introduced to any kind of water, pass through a circuit generating a disinfectant, resulting at the outlet in a completely drinkable one. Its weight is of fifteen kilos in total, 1,5 kg of which from the solar panel,  and is able to save lifes in places where there are no electricity and no possibility to generate energy.

Only turning water into drinkable we are able to improve the current expectations of future

The backpack is autonomous and efficient to the point that is able to generate disinfectant agent for 50.000 lts per day, although the pump size allows a flow between 2.000 and 4.000 lts of water per day. Its cost is affordable enough to consider its use everywhere in the world.
It is the right time for the capital to contribute by means of the research to get important results in the social sector, gathering entrepreneurial, institutional and mankind benefit all together.

• The 2013 Deloitte Award for social contribution was to  Solardistech. So website announced XVIII Fòrum d’Inversiò de ACC10 the list of winners after a long and intensive research work on water engineering in Europe and the world.

Drinking water anywhere in the world is the basis of the work of SOLARDISTECH.

Design, manufacture and market portable electrochemical devices, powered by solar energy and photovoltaic generators
are highly efficient and capable of disinfecting water anywhere ecological disinfectant.

This was the impetus he needed the WATEROLOGIES project to become a business expectation in Spain. In addition to raising investment capital and start a process of implementation in different companies in the world with our products, engineering and consulting in improving water quality.

In 2015 we are confirming the positive chances of our commitment to the water business, our products and services basing on the opportunities that project the smarts cityes in implementing water services in different sectors such as:

health, food, leisure or food
