Signing of MOU for Research on Sewage and Wastewater Reuse
"Residuals Discharged as Solids... Clean Water Recycled"
Toray Advanced Materials and researchers from Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) have joined forces for an eco-friendly project to purify and reuse sewage and wastewater.
On the 11th, the two companies announced that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding to Promote the Sewage and Wastewater Reuse Industry and Research Sector. Through this agreement, the two companies will collaborate on joint research covering all aspects of sewage and wastewater reuse technology. Upon completing joint research for standardization, Toray Advanced Materials will supply its products for the entire 'filtration' process required in the reuse procedure. This includes technologies for concentrating brine to the extreme and elemental technologies for recovering useful resources.

Through this agreement, the two companies expect to realize an eco-friendly 'zero discharge wastewater treatment' system where no wastewater is generated, residuals are discharged entirely as concentrated solid sludge, and clean water is recycled. Toray Advanced Materials is known to have secured competitiveness by achieving high ion concentration rates and energy efficiency.
A representative from Toray Advanced Materials stated, "With Toray Advanced Materials' world-class technology in water treatment materials and K-water's expertise as a water-related professional institution, their collaboration will play a significant role in revitalizing the water industry."
