Trondheim, Norway / Kentucky, USA—04 Aug 2023—CrayoNano AS is pleased to announce the signing of a commercial frame contract between CrayoNano and AquiSense Technologies, for sales of UV-C LED components valued at about 4 million NOK over the next 12 months. The frame contract offers additional opportunities to increase the value beyond the minimum amount.

“We are humbled to be chosen as a UV-C LED supplier to one of the world’s largest system integrators in the water disinfection market,” said Jo Uthus, CEO of CrayoNano.

“Over the past nine months, AquiSense has tested and validated the CrayoLED^TM UV-C LEDs to our high-quality standards for use in water disinfection systems for point of entry and point of use products.” said Oliver Lawal, CEO of AquiSense. “We are very happy to welcome CrayoNano as a supplier as the collaboration allows AquiSense to substantially grow our business globally across market segments, including the industrial and consumer markets.”

Dr Rich Simons, Ph.D., Head of Application Science at AquiSense Technologies, has been appointed as an Adjunct (Faculty of Graduate Studies) in the Department of Civil and Resource Engineering on the academic staff of the Faculty of Graduate Studies at Dalhousie University. AquiSense has developed many research tools and has worked with Dalhousie to integrate them into the research community. This appointment is a great opportunity for Dr Simons and AquiSense to continue to work closely with the University to progress the development of UV disinfection.

Rich earned his Master’s in Engineering and PhD from the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, studying optoelectronic materials theory and methods for the simulation of UV-C LED water treatment reactor performance. Since 2016 he has worked at AquiSense Technologies to advance the deployment of UV-C LED technologies, and as Head of Application Science a key aspect of his work is to translate technology potential into system realization as UV-C LED performance continues to improve. AquiSense joined the NSERC/Halifax Water Industrial Research Chair, led by Prof. Gagnon at Dalhousie University, in 2019 and Rich has led AquiSense’s involvement in the associated research efforts since this time; this relationship has led to closer collaboration between research and implementation of UV-C LED technologies, and his latest appointment continues to strengthen this work.

UV LED disinfection technology continues to expand into new markets, with higher flows and more robust systems.

AquiSense Technologies, the world leader in ultraviolet (UV) LED water disinfection systems, is happy to announce it has developed the PearlAqua Tera, the first North American UV LED disinfection system designed for municipal and industrial markets. The first installation of the Tera is at the Las Vegas Valley Water District, which is well known for innovative solutions for water treatment. The installation began Q1 2022 with more orders to follow from a variety of municipalities and industrial leaders.

The PearlAqua Tera offers operational benefits specific to LEDs, including robust design, mercury free, and low cost of ownership. This product provides chemical-free disinfection in a small, self-contained unit. The PearlAqua Tera features automatic on/off switching in addition to advanced thermal management. The PearlAqua Tera offers municipal and industrial level disinfection with flowrates up-to 6 MGD (22,712 m³/D).

“The AquiSense team always goes beyond my very high expectations and this project is no exception,” said Oliver Lawal, CEO at AquiSense Technologies. “This product launch symbolizes the last bastion of maturation for UV LED technology.

AquiSense Technologies, the global leader in UV-C LED water disinfection technology, is proud to announce their latest subsidiary located in Germany. This additional location provides support to the local business development strategies and existing efforts to maintain customer relationships. This development comes at a strategic time as sales are growing and large partners are coming online for AquiSense’s UV-C LED disinfection products.

The new company, known as AquiSense Technologies Europe GmbH, will be based near Frankfurt, Germany, and is led by Thomas Arnold who has a background of 15 years in the conventional mercury lamp industry. Thomas joined AquiSense in the role of European Sales Director five years ago when we saw the full potential of UV-C LEDs. “This new company will support our efforts in this region, including maintaining and building our distributor network and continuing to build relationships with our customers in the region”, said Thomas Arnold. “This development comes with additional staff and resources to grow our sales efforts in the region for all AquiSense products”, concluded Arnold.

“AquiSense has operated on a global basis from inception in 2015, however steps such as this are important as we scale revenue and operations. This company formation is just one of many globalization strategies we have put into action recently”, said Oliver Lawal, CEO and President of AquiSense Technologies.

Currently, ASEI has installed several water purification units while integrating UV-C LED technology based on AquiSense’s PearlAqua Micro disinfection product. Technology and design deployments were made at Hapuuyo Health Center III and Kyegegwa Hospital in Kyegegwa District, Western Uganda. The use of pre-filters and UV-C LEDs provide more people with clean water with a much higher rate compared to the ceramic filters previously used. One advantage that the team at ASEI was excited about was the ability to have decentralized water treatment, as many small towns require clean water, and the use of UV-C LEDs offer off-grid disinfection due to the ability to work on micro or small solar power systems.

“AquiSense Technologies is a proven manufacturer and leader in UV-C manufacturing serving a global market. Their ability to use semiconductor technology to enhance UV water treatment creates many possibilities of delivering safe drinking water to many people in Uganda”. – Alicwamu Moses – Engineer & Programs Director at ASEI

ASEI has already begun the process of expanding their water treatment projects to schools and healthcare centers throughout Uganda. Beyond this application, ASEI is looking to create water refill stations for general use, delivering safe drinking water at subsidized costs. They will also extend the UV-C applications locally to food and beverage SMEs in Uganda.

“ASEI is working with AquiSense to integrate the UV-C technology into new solutions that improve people’s lives, and quality of living. This is just the beginning of the so many possibilities for ASEI and AquiSense in Uganda and Africa.”, Moses added.

In Japan, with a high population density and most city dwellers living in apartments, the greywater reuse market covers hundreds of thousands of units annually.

With costs for water treatment, transport and heating significant, hot water is considered a precious resource. As a result, it is more economical to heat water during low energy-demand times and it is common for households to reuse bath water to conserve resources.

Mitsubishi’s recirculating heat-pump system historically included filtration but lacked disinfection technology to prevent bacteria growth. After evaluating many UV-C LED and UV systems, the company selected AquiSense as a partner to work in collaboration.

The companies designed and tested a custom variation of AquiSense’s golf-ball-sized PearlAqua Micro module as a component for Mitsubishi’s EcoCute.
