Geodesic - Water Disinfection and Conservation Systems
Geodesic Innovations focuses on cutting-edge water disinfection and conservation technologies. Their systems utilize electrophysical techniques, such as electroporation and advanced oxidation, to eradicate bacteria effectively without the use of chemical agents. Electroporation employs electric fields to destabilize bacterial cell membranes, resulting in their destruction. Meanwhile, advanced oxidation processes generate oxidants from the water itself to combat impurities. These systems excel in numerous applications including pools, spas, cooling towers, and distribution networks. Geodesic's innovative approach ensures high water quality with minimal environmental footprint by avoiding chemical pollution and leveraging remote management via the Watersite platform. This adaptability is crucial for varying water treatment needs, offering significant operational efficiency and water conservation by retaining up to 90% of water in specific applications, aligning with sustainable developmental goals.
Eliminate bacteria through the process of electroporation
Under certain conditions, electric fields produce an electro-osmotic imbalance in the cell membrane causing its breakdown and the immediate death of bacteria. It is with this electrophysical mechanism that our systems can completely and instantaneously disinfect circulating water.
Advanced oxidation through natural processes
Under other kinds of conditions, applying electric fields triggers oxidation reduction (Redox). This type of reaction can be direct oxidations of organic or inorganic material, or reactions that generate oxidants. Through these processes, our systems can create, for instance, active chlorine from the chlorides that are naturally present in the water, or radical hydroxyls from the water molecule itself.
The combined use of these techniques (electroporation and advanced oxidation), managed with sophisticated software, ensures the desired water quality for each type of implementation or use—whether it be in distribution networks, or in closed or semi-closed circuits (pools/spas, cooling towers, fountains, etc.)—guaranteeing disinfected water at the point of delivery or use.
Remote Operation
The coupling of the water disinfection systems with the remote management platform, Watersite, designed in-house by Geodesic, and the simplicity and automation of maintenance greatly reduce the required maintenance, operation and logistics. Our smart-sensor system continuously manages water treatment using the recorded data, together with the rest of the task parameters, to feed the decision-making and machine-learning algorithms.
Geodesic totally eliminates chemical products from the water
Using the Geodesic method, water is disinfected and conserved without the use of chemical products, thereby protecting the environment and people’s health and well-being.
Traditional systems applied to semi-closed circuits or reclaimed water distribution lines always require an oxidant dose, generally chlorine-based.
This usually causes an alteration in the physiochemical characteristics of the water, habitually requiring other chemical agents to correct it which leads to the creation of more aggressive water, both for humans and for the installation’s material.
Moreover, the addition of chemicals, especially chlorine, favors the formation of by-products that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
Geodesic makes the disinfection strategy less cumbersome
Geodesic allows you to adapt, in a simple manner, the disinfection strategy to your needs depending on use, whether it be in semi-closed circuits (pools, cooling towers and storage tanks), or in reused water supplies, where water disinfection can be guaranteed due to the proximity of the treatment to the point of use.
Physical methods are not operational in circuits with retained water, nor are they reliable in distribution lines when disinfection needs to be guaranteed at a far-off point of use, making the addition of oxidants necessary. These circumstances either cause an overdose or re-chlorination throughout distribution, in other words they deliver water with a high microbiological risk to the user.
Geodesic conserves up to 90% of the water
In pools and cooling towers, Geodesic conserves up to 90% of the water used by virtue of not adding chemical products and also because of the treatment control and management system itself.
