First portable nanofiltration drinking water purifier
- 1. The story of CamelTrain™ BONDURANT TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL
- 2. 2 Patent Pending *Sources: World Health Organization. http://www.who.int/gho/mdg/environmental_sustainability/en/ WaterAid.org.uk. http://www.wateraid.org/uk/what-we-do/the-crisis What’s the Problem? ? 748 million people live without safe water. 315,000 children under age 5 die each year from diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation.* Nutrition can’t be improved without clean water. Climate change is impacting the way that water is dispersed throughout the world.
- 3. 3 Patent Pending • The original idea came from Nimon Bondurant watching a portable car wash. • He determined it would be more efficient to purify and reuse the water than let it go down into the sewers. • The goal was to come up with a portable device that required very little, if any, maintenance. How Did We Get Involved? • Once the unit was completed, Nimon found it was capable of producing microbiologically clean water and near reverse osmosis (RO) quality water. Shortly after this discovery, Nimon read and was inspired by the “Sick Water” report from UN-HABITAT.
- 4. 4 Patent Pending Our New “Achieved” Objectives PORTABILITY A unit small enough to be carried by two persons, or wheeled by one EFFICIENCY A unit that can produce hundreds of gallons of microbiologically clean drinking water per hour from any fresh water source TECHNOLOGY All membrane filtration able to remove harmful organic and inorganic material by employing a physical wall RUGGEDNESS Pelican high-performance resin case, manual (not electrical) controls, industry best long-life pumps. No frequent filters to replace EASE OF USE Up and running in under a minute, no assembly required ENDURANCE Employs a backflush and 100% organic solution to prevent/remove clogs and caking, dramatically extending the life of the membranes
- 5. 5 Patent Pending The versatility of CamelTrain™ allows for the units to be utilized across the main segmented user groups that currently make up the water purification market. Industrial Commercial Household Disaster relief Who Would Be Our Users?
- 6. 6 Patent Pending What Is Different About Our Technology? • Our technology exceeds the capabilities of traditional water cleaning technologies in many ways. Competitive Advantage • The CamelTrain™ produces clean, microbiologically safe water between 590 and 600 gallons per hour. RO systems of comparable size produce approximately 100 gallons of water per hour. vs Reverse Osmosis • The CamelTrain™ can remove virtually all harmful viruses, bacteria, and heavy metals regardless of the turbidity (cloudiness) of the water. UV light will not work in turbid water, nor remove particles, colloids, or ions. vs Ultraviolet (UV) Light • The CamelTrain™ places a physical barrier of microscopic pores to stop biologicals and inorganic materials. Carbon (charcoal)-based filtering, which relies on absorption (not blocking), is not good at removing chemicals that are not attracted to carbon (e.g., sodium, nitrates, heavy metals), has a short service life, is not effective against some pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and can harbor bacteria, which can lead to bacterial grow-through. vs Carbon (Charcoal)
- 7. 7 Patent Pending Current Market for the Technology • All industry experts agree that the RO water purifiers segment dominated the market during 2016, with a market share of 47% to 63%. The efficiency of the RO technology in eliminating water contaminants compared to gravity-based and UV water purifiers is a major driver of RO water purifiers. Unlike other variants, RO water purifiers successfully deal with microorganisms by destroying their cells along with eliminating turbidity. • According to industry experts, nanofiltration (NF) technologies will gain significant traction soon. • RO membranes are fine enough to retain organics. However, the energy cost of RO is high due to the simultaneous retention of salt. This gives RO high-operating costs, because water transport across the membrane has to overcome the osmotic pressure as salinity increases on the concentrate side. Unless salt removal is the primary goal — one example would be for a seawater feed or a brackish water source — then RO is likely to be too energy intensive for general water treatment purposes. • NF offers the promise of removing organics without a significant reduction of ionic species, thereby meeting important water quality targets that are developing in the water industry.
- 8. 8 Patent Pending Market Valuation • According to Helmut Kaiser Consultancy, the market for water purification, water disinfection, and securing water quality is growing worldwide between 8% and 25% depending on the sector, branch, and country. The current value of this market is $US20 billion. (5) • Allied Market Research, in their new report titled, “World Water Purifier Market,” estimated that the world water purifier market is expected to garner $45.3 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 10.4% during 2016 to 2022. Global Water Purifier Market, by End User • Based on end user, the market is categorized into commercial and residential users. The world water purifier market is anticipated to witness a rapid growth in the residential segment because of rising health concerns among households. • Residential users accounted for the largest share, i.e., 78% of the overall market in 2015. Moreover, the segment would witness prominent growth in developing countries such as China and India in the coming years, owing to increasing scarcity of clean drinking water and increasing awareness toward health and hygiene.
- 9. 9 Patent Pending Resume • According to different research studies, the global water purifier market is currently estimated from $US20 billion to $US50 billion. Such huge variation is caused by different methodologies, indicators, and criteria used during these studies. • It will grow between 8% and 25% depending on the sector, branch, and country in the next 5 to 7 years. • Key drivers of such growth will be the need for clean water in every part of the world due to the rapid pace of urbanization and relentless population increase. • RO purifiers dominated the market during 2015 to 2016, with a market share of 47% to 63%. • In the near future, it will continue to dominate the market; however, other technologies, especially NF ones, will gain significant traction too. • APAC accounted for close to 70% of the market share during 2015 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of over 11.4% to 17% in next five years, mainly due to huge growth in China and India — key markets in the region. • New product development, deteriorating quality of water, and rising demand from developing economies are key trends that will have the most impact on sector dynamics in the near future.
