CLIMATE LAUNCHPAD 2019 

Climate Launchpad 2019

This international climate contest of environmental projects is held annually in more than a hundred countries and consists of national qualifying stages, the winners of which represent their country in the grand final. This competition is attended by teams that present the most promising projects that can have a significant positive impact on the ecology of regions, countries and continents.

In 2019 our team presented a water purification technology project called H2Only to the jury of the national qualifying competition in Moldova.

Our project includes developments in water purification by binding water molecules and separating them by creating crystalline hydrates. This method is unique in that it has minimal energy input required in the purification process and does not involve boiling or expensive filtration.

Our team won first place in the national finals in September and represented our project in the grand finals in Amsterdam in november 2019.

H2Only

This technology is based on the unique properties of water to create a hydrate compound with certain substances. Using these properties we are working on equipment that will be able to purify all types of water contamination including heavy radioactive water and hazardous chemical compounds that cannot be purified by conventional methods.

When we finish building and testing the prototype we will be able to solve the global problem of drinking water shortages on a global level.

The idea and calculation of the parameters of the hydrate formation process are far ahead of the technical possibilities and were discovered in the late 80s of the 19th century. At that time there were no high-precision sensors, controllers, analyzers and computers with the required software, therefore in those days it was extremely difficult to obtain stable controllable results, but a prototype unit was built and impressive results were obtained confirming the calculations in practice.

Our development team came very close to building a working setup and conducting laboratory tests.
