The air purification device developed by Watervation was confirmed to have a formaldehyde treatment efficiency 72% superior to existing air washer products. Formaldehyde is an air pollutant emitted from household furniture, textiles, and chemical products. It has acute toxicity, skin irritancy, and carcinogenicity, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated it as a ‘potential carcinogen.’ KCL is an accredited testing and certification organization that provides testing and certification services across all industrial sectors including mobility, aerospace, bio, energy, fire safety, construction, lifestyle, environment, component materials, and energy storage systems (ESS).

Watervation’s air purification device applies the so-called ‘WVG (Water Volume Grid) technology’ to purify air using water without filters. It is applied to small and large air purification devices as well as industrial scrubbers. Based on this technology, Watervation plans to participate in ‘CES 2025’ to be held in Las Vegas, USA, in January next year.

Jung Yoon-young, CEO of Watervation, stated, “The air purification device was selected as the final recommended product for the Public Procurement Service’s innovative products, and we plan to begin full-scale mass production in the first half of next year.” He added, “The industrial air pollutant treatment device, the scrubber, also demonstrated treatment efficiencies of 99.3% for ammonia and 100% for sulfur oxides in harmful gas reduction tests conducted by an accredited verification institution.”
