Founded in the research and development laboratories at Imperial College, London, HydroVenturi has focused on ensuring the robustness and advancement of its’ core technology and patent portfolio. Following successful demonstration in a number of applications the company is now moving to commercialisation of its technology through licensing and equipment rental/shared savings business models, initially via strategic relationships with major industrialists, utilities and regulatory bodies.
HydroVenturi has a suite of fully patented gas exchange technologies that are uniquely focused on both energy and water clean technology market applications – particularly in energy efficient municipal and industrial water and effluent treatment, groundwater remediation and hydropower generation and discharge aeration.
Based on the venturi effect, our patented core technology platform utilises the pressure drop naturally created when a flow velocity is increased to introduce a gas into that same flow, particularly, but not exclusively, air into water. We have successfully demonstrated with a major utility at a small commercial scale a high efficiency, stable oxygen transfer capability and, when coupled with an air driven turbine system, we have also been able to demonstrate that we can generate electricity in both a commercially advantageous and environmentally benign way; thus also opening up the opportunity to exploit the significant potential of the ultra low-head hydro (1.5m – 5m range) market with a truly disruptive product offering, as well as being able to offer existing hydro operators a retrofit purely to improve downstream aeration and increase generated plant output.
HydroVenturi’s technology has no underwater moving or mechanical parts and requires no electricity input. Basically we let ‘the Physics’ do all the work! |
