Title: Long-Life Arsenic Removal Filter

Summary: A new approach for arsenic removal from drinking and groundwater using advanced ceramic materials. The design aims for significantly higher durability and lower maintenance compared to conventional adsorption filters.

Problem: Arsenic contamination in groundwater affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in regions of South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America and parts of Europe. Many existing filter systems require frequent replacement of filter media, leading to high operating costs and limited acceptance in rural and low-income areas.

Solution:This project proposes a new arsenic filter based on a high-durability ceramic material approach. A utility model (Gebrauchsmuster) has already been granted by the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.

Key intended advantages:

• Significantly extended service life compared to conventional arsenic filters
• Reduced maintenance and operating costs
• Good arsenic adsorption performance
• Potentially suitable for both household and community-scale applications

Current Status

• Theoretical development and material concept completed
• German utility model (Gebrauchsmuster) granted
• No prototype built yet
• No laboratory test results available yetI am looking for research partners, universities, water technology institutes or organizations interested in:

• Material testing
• Prototype development
• Laboratory and field trials
• Possible joint research projects or open-source development

License / CollaborationThe technology is available for licensing, cooperative development or open-source collaboration (depending on the partner). Interested parties are welcome to contact me.

Title: Long-Life Solar Water Pump for Off-Grid and Arid Regions

Summary: A new concept for a significantly more durable solar water pump designed for use in drought-prone, off-grid and remote agricultural areas. The approach focuses on using high-durability materials to extend service life and reduce maintenance.

Problem: Many conventional solar pumps suffer from relatively short service life due to corrosion, wear in bearings and seals, and degradation in harsh environments (high salinity, sand, extreme temperatures). This leads to frequent failures, high replacement costs and unreliable water supply for agriculture and drinking water in developing regions.

Solution: This project introduces a solar water pump concept based on advanced, highly corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials. A utility model (Gebrauchsmuster) has been filed and granted by the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.

Intended key advantages:

• Significantly longer service life compared to standard solar pumps
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Improved energy efficiency through lower friction losses
• Suitable for harsh environmental conditions (saline water, high dust, extreme temperatures)

Current Status

• Concept and material approach fully developed
• German utility model granted
• No physical prototype built yet
• No field test results available yetI am actively looking for research partners, universities, engineering institutes or organizations interested in:

• Material and component testing
• Prototype development
• Field testing in arid or off-grid regions
• Joint research or development projects
