Ingeobras has developed a patented nitrate removal system with the name PUREMUST-SN ®
PUREMUST-SN ® is based on the elimination of nitrates that water contains, by a heterotrophic biological procedure, transforming nitrates into nitrogen gas.
PUREMUST-SN ® can also be used for the elimination of sulfates that water contains by transforming them into gas sulfhydric acid.
It is an economical, easy to use and environmentally friendly solution.
The presence of nitrates constitutes one of the greatest threats to water quality in aquifers, both in Spain and in most developed countries.
Most of the nitrate pollution comes from inorganic fertilisers and animal manure, substances that continue to be incorporated into groundwater.
This has serious consequences for human and environmental health, due to the use of groundwater as a drinking water resource.
In addition, nitrate can persist in groundwater for decades and accumulate at high levels in soil. This is why the EU has updated regulatory frameworks to reduce pollution with increasingly stringent regulations.
Puremust-sn ® is an innovative technology that is already in the commercial phase. It is the most competitive solution on the market from both a technical and economic point of view. It is also environmentally friendly.
