Enabling selective removal of mercury
An electrochemical solution for selective removal of mercury from water, in a more effective and sustainable way than ever before.
A MODULAR AND SCALABLE SOLUTION
SELECTIVE MERCURY REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATERS AND ACIDS
We have developed a new technology for effective and cost-efficient removal of mercury from fluids. The patent-pending technology is based on a reversible electrochemical process with incredible performance. Compared to conventional methods, our product is:
- Effective at removing low concentrations.
- Selective for mercury.
- Sustainable in terms of cost and environment.

OUR FIRST PRODUCT
HELPING DENTAL CLINICS REDUCE THEIR MERCURY EMISSIONS
Mercury pollution from dental amalgam waste poses significant environmental challenges. Our innovative, patent-pending electrochemical technology offers dental clinics an efficient and cost-effective solution to minimize mercury emissions. Key benefits include:
- High Efficiency at removing low concentrations of mercury, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
- Selective Targeting of dissolved mercury ions, which slip through conventional amalgam separators.
- Available to order for Swedish clinics.
