Increasing demand for ecologically effective water treatment technologies has resulted in the development of several new oxidation methods. These technologies are generally labelled Advanced Oxidation Technologies (AOT) or Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) and currently represent the most widely recognised alternative for ecologically sound, high-tech water purification.
Wallenius AOT purifiers are based on Wallenius AOT (Advanced Oxidation Technology), the result of more than a decade of advanced research and development. It is a patented, chemical free technology that is inspired by nature's own way of purifying water. Just like nature, Wallenius AOT uses free radicals to break down harmful microorganisms and other pollutants in water.
The technology utilises the ability of light, together with photocatalytic semiconductor surfaces, to produce free radicals, just like nature does. These reactive radicals break down harmful microorganisms and other pollutants in water. The entire process takes just a few micro-seconds.
