Tech Challenge
The Water Council is accepting applications for its fall Tech Challenge through Oct. 28. Read on to learn about this session’s topics, or click here to learn about the Tech Challenge program.
Treatment and removal of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in drinking water at facility or point of use scale
On behalf of A. O. Smith Corporation, Badger Meter, and Watts Water Technologies, The Water Council is managing Tech Challenges seeking innovative solutions for treatment and removal of microplastics and nanoplastics in domestic drinking water for residential and commercial systems. Solutions at Technology Readiness Level 3 or higher are sought for use in applications including:
- Point of use / Point of entry drinking water
- Process monitoring of small commercial systems
- Industrial applications
- Municipal water supply
- Well water
Key Success Criteria
- TRL 3 or higher (Feasibility Demonstration: Initial development of technology has been completed. Basic components of the technology are well understood. Minimum: Laboratory Scale)
- Low cost
- Long lasting
- Low energy usage
- Rapid response
