Over the course of the next year, the Team will employ local college students to maintain the program and monitor the efficiency of the water purificationtechnology.
With complex purificationtechnology beyond the reach of the many developing world communities that suffer from dangerously high levels of the toxic metalloid element in their water supply, this surprisingly simple method of filtration, could quite literally save lives.
The company vows to double its revenues from 17 clean-technology businesses, ranging from renewable energy and hydrogen fuel cells, to water filtration and purification systems, to cleaner aircraft and locomotive engines.
From water purification systems and biohazard sensors to efficient energy systems and nutritional supplements in baby food, the spinoffs from space technology are myriad.
