GENKS Autonomous Solar Photocatalytic Purifier¶
Membranes & Advanced Filtration • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
An autonomous, solar-powered robotic water purification system by CleanTheSky and GENKS, recognized as a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree. It is designed for governments and water managers to restore polluted lakes, reservoirs, and aquaculture farms without dredging or toxic chemicals.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Membranes & Advanced Filtration |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | Solar-powered autonomous surface vehicles distribute natural photocatalytic materials derived from discarded shellfish across water bodies. Sunlight activates the photocatalysts to generate reactive oxygen species that oxidize algal biomass and organic pollutants, while a digital twin optimizes robotic coverage and dosing in real time. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
