Experience. Science. Future. The future platform at IFAT for the environmental technology sector provides start-ups with their own, international forum for the first time.
Island Water Technologies aim to optimize processes with their bio-electrode sensor technology.
Jack Ambler, Vice President, Engineering , Iceland Water Technologies:
“We are trying our best to take the black box out of waste water treatment. We are using our sensors to understand the microbial activity in these microbiological processes and optimize systems for reduced downtime and increased performance.“
Increasing efficiency. A key topic for many start-ups.
This is how the young company Orcan is presenting its solution for the generation of waste heat.
Markus Lintl, Head of Industry & New Business, Orcan Energy:
“Our efficiency pack is actually relatively simple. Heat goes in at the top and power comes out of the bottom. Inside there’s a small power plant that generates power very reliably, autonomously, and without external control, and this power can then be used on-site.“
Another example of new ideas:
Start- Up SenZ2 wants to make radar-based measuring technologies simple and cost-effective for the first time.
Martin v an Reijn, Director, Product Management, SenZ2
“The special thing is radar is the best technology to measure distance and to measure water levels for instance. Only radar, until now, is very complex to use and expensive to install. What we have done is that we solved this problem, so we made it easy to use and easy to install and very cost-efficient.”
The start-up area experience.science.future at IFAT 2018 is full of fresh ideas for the industry, and is helping young entrepreneurs’ businesses really take off.
