Aquammodate
Simon did his doctorate on the development of the water purification filter that is now under further development. He possesses a lot of expertise in materials chemistry and nanotechnology in general and above all specific knowledge about the components of the water filter and the interactions between them. Martin Andersson initiated and supervised this Formas-financed doctoral project which, among other things, resulted in the founding of Aquammodate AB and further investment in prototype development. Martin is a professor at Chalmers and has a solid background in materials chemistry and biomimetics (imitating nature in order to make use of its incredible solutions) with cutting-edge expertise in water purification. Previously he has co-founded Promimic AB and Amferia AB and thus has good experience in starting and further developing companies into well-established organisations.
"Our technology has the potential to lower the energy consumption of water purification processes up to 85% compared to the present state-of-the-art, maintaining a high selectivity for water and excellent purity, whilst only using renewable and naturally abundant components. We are hence planning on providing a sustainable solution with the potential to cut costs and increase efficiency, which can help improve the process of supplying safe drinking water, ultra-pure water, as well as the removal of particles and substances including pharmaceutical residues and microplastics, etc.

Our technology has the potential to radically reduce the CO2 emissions per m3 (kg) by 65%. That results in 150 000 tonnes/year less CO2 emissions for 80% of European point-of-use market.
