Porifera – Wastewater Treatment
Porifera’s wastewater treatment system extracts water from waste streams, concentration the waste for disposal and providing potable water for reuse. The dprShield uses a high-resolution dye monitoring and a reverse pressure barrier to provide unprecedented contaminant detection and removal.

How Does It Work
Waste stream flows past a semipermeable membrane with saline draw solution on the other side.
By osmosis, water flows out of the waste solution and into the draw solution.
A high-resolution dye monitoring system detects if any contaminants pass the semipermeable membrane and shuts the system down if they do.
