Bubble-Film Extraction Water Treatment System¶
Membranes & Advanced Filtration • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
A novelbubble-film extraction system developed by Viktor Gevod and colleagues as a lower-cost alternative to adsorption-filtering and osmotic systems. It is designed for municipalities and communities seeking to avoid the high operating and maintenance costs of conventional membrane and adsorption plants.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Membranes & Advanced Filtration |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | The system generates a stabilized bubble-film interface that selectively concentrates and extracts dissolved contaminants from water via interfacial adsorption and foam separation physics. Contaminants are trapped at the liquid-gas boundary of fine bubbles and removed as a concentrated foam fraction, reducing the need for high-pressure pumps or chemical coagulants. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
