FOTELCAT: An innovative and sustainable low-cost water treatment system

FOTELCAT is a novel water treatment system based on a reactor that combines photo-electro-catalytic technology. The application of water electro-oxidation together with photo-catalytic processes opens multiple possibilities for water treatment applications, reinforcing the strategy to achieve the complete removal of harmful compounds of different natures without the addition of chemical reagents. An innovative hydrodynamic design for water distribution within the cell optimizes the water residence time in the reactor. It is suitable for both water disinfection and chemical pollutant removal. Dual-use technology.
