Sarsen Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University presents unique filters for water purification
Sarsen Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University presented unique filters for water purification, El.kz reports citing the Kazakh Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The university has developed domestic filters capable of effectively purifying water both at home and in industrial conditions, which meets the requirements of modernizing the wastewater treatment infrastructure.
As part of the project "Production of composite filter materials for the treatment of water bodies", specialists create filter sorbents based on biopolymers, ceramic and carbon materials modified with graphite oxide, with the subsequent assembly of cartridges and the manufacture of cases directly on the basis of the university.
Recently, the university invested over 125 million tenge in the purchase of L-BW 380 equipment, which will ensure the production of high-quality housings for new filters, and the launch of products on the market is planned within a year after the completion of technical training and the establishment of the production line.
The project manager Tlek Kuanyshbekov stressed that innovative filters will become an affordable alternative to Russian analogues, and their service life in domestic conditions will be 4-5 months, which is especially important in conditions of pollution of about 70% of the country's surface water bodies and insufficient treatment of industrial wastewater.
The university is actively implementing the educational program "Hydroecology, Management and Transboundary Water Security", aimed at training specialists who are proficient in modern geoinformation methods of monitoring and managing water resources in compliance with environmental standards.
