Summary

High-Voltage Water BENEFITS Purification Environmentally friendly: Does not introduce toxic chemicals into liquids -or Water RecyclPUg or PoPUt-of-Use AWWlPcatPoUs Readily available: Provides clean water on-demand Scientists at NASAs Glenn Research Center have developed a Accessible: Accommodates unique water purification method that can be used for water recycling large-volume, high- or point-of-use applications. Originally developed as a means to throughput applications and works with in-volume and in- recycle water in space, this technology has applications in industrial line water feed systems water treatment, water recycling, and water purification for military Simple: Operates without bases, disaster sites, and regions without easy access to clean filters, which can often become fouled or punctured water. Relying on only electrical energy, this technology uses plasma- Durable: Housed in a self- generated reactive species to decompose organic contaminants, contained unit ranging from submicron particles to water soluble organics like glycol,
