Okeanos

 

An advanced filtration system with nano-technology for the effective removal of heavy metals in the wastewater of the electroplating industry

The core product of Okeanos is a wastewater treatment facility based on advanced nano-materials, which effectively removes heavy metals, organic contaminants and other pollutants from water. While focusing on the electroplating industry, we have developed a recycling method to extract heavy metal from wastewater, recovering the biggest major cost of the industry.

Our filtration system employs a distinctive multi-layer modular design that enables flexibility in the factory environment. Our nano-materials are cost-effective and can be reused up to four times, using simple regeneration fluid, reducing cost and saving resources, thus helping our clients achieve their environmental goals.
