This KTP aims to develop antimicrobial nanomaterial additives for water systems, tanks and cooling towers to prevent biofilm formation and water borne infections in hospital water systems, and beyond. The outcomes of the project will help to enable the reduction of hot water temperatures and biocides in controlling microorganisms and deliver more energy-efficient solutions.
This new capability will strengthen Feedwater’s commitment to developing new technologies to address the current challenges facing the water treatment sector and aligns with the UK’s ambitions to achieve net zero by 2050, where the water industry is highlighted as key, and can also be cost-effective to decarbonise.
John Devenny, Managing Director of Feedwater, said: “This project is a potential gamechanger in water treatment technology and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the University of Liverpool, in developing environmentally friendly solutions in the field of microbiological control.”
Professor D’Sa said: “We are excited about the partnership with Feedwater Ltd. which will be key to the translation of an innovative technology that can revolutionise the water treatment sector by lowering carbon emissions and reducing the development of antimicrobial resistance.”
