At SATOORNIK, we are passionate about finding innovative solutions for industrial and environmental challenges. Recently, we achieved a remarkable milestone: a PTFE particle removal rate of 99.997% from polluted water. This achievement can drastically improve water quality and enhance environmental protection.


Why PTFE Separation Matters


Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a versatile material found in coatings, industrial products, and even cooking pans. However, its fine particles are tough to remove from water because they are chemically inert and hydrophobic.


This contamination represents significant challenges for environmental safety and regulatory compliance. As a solution, the ability to remove PTFE efficiently not only helps protect ecosystems but also supports responsible practices in industries that utilize PTFE.


Our Achievement


Through a dedicated effort at SATOORNIK, our team has developed an advanced method that achieves an unparalleled 99.997% efficiency in PTFE separation from water. Extensive research and innovative engineering were crucial to this achievement.


Our patented technology, SGen-I, employs advanced processes to separate PTFE particles. SGen-I effectively captures PTFE, resulting in cleaner effluents and a reduced environmental footprint.

The Technology Behind the Breakthrough


At the heart of this achievement is SGen-I, our proprietary magnetic separation technology designed specifically for PTFE removal. By leveraging magnetic forces, SGen-I efficiently captures PTFE particles, achieving ultrahigh separation performance.


As part of our GenI series, we are now advancing to environmental testing with SGen-I S20, moving from lab-scale validation to real-world wastewater conditions. This phase ensures the technology performs reliably across diverse industrial and environmental scenarios.


Moreover, SGen-I is adaptable across multiple industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and wastewater treatment, providing a versatile solution for sectors seeking reliable PTFE separation and environmental compliance.

Environmental Impact


The environmental benefits of our PTFE separation technology are noteworthy. Achieving a removal efficiency of 99.997% directly addresses the growing problem of microplastics in water, playing a vital role in promoting healthier aquatic ecosystems.


Fewer PTFE particles in water bodies not only protects marine life but also promotes biodiversity. In addition, this technology enables industries to meet stringent regulatory standards, ensuring compliance and encouraging sustainable practices.


Applications of PTFE Separation Technology


Our advanced PTFE separation technology is suitable across multiple industries, providing effective solutions for various challenges. Here are a few key areas where this technology can make a significant impact:


1. Wastewater Treatment


In wastewater treatment facilities, PTFE particles complicate the cleaning process and may lead to costly violations. By implementing our technology, these facilities can efficiently remove PTFE, ensuring cleaner discharge into rivers and lakes.


2. Manufacturing Processes


Manufacturers using PTFE often face difficulties in waste management. Our separation technology can be integrated into production lines, capturing PTFE particles before they reach wastewater systems, thus reducing their environmental impact.


3. Food Processing


Water quality is critical in the food processing industry. Our PTFE separation technology can help ensure that water used in production is free from harmful contaminants, thereby supporting food safety standards.


4. Oil and Gas Industry


The oil and gas sector deals with many contaminants, including PTFE. Our technology can be used to treat produced water, improving the quality of water that is reused in operations and lowering environmental risks.


Future Developments


At SATOORNIK, we are committed to advancing our technology further. We are actively exploring enhancements to our filtration materials and processes to improve efficiency even more.


Built with a modular design, SGen-I can be easily scaled and adapted to suit larger industrial operations, ensuring that our high-efficiency separation technology is accessible to a wide range of industries. This approach allows diverse users to implement the system effectively while maintaining sustainability and operational flexibility.


Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Cleaner Water


Reaching a 99.997% efficiency in PTFE separation is a significant step in our effort to tackle the environmental issues caused by microplastics.


Our innovative technology not only provides reliable solutions for industries but also aids in protecting ecosystems and public health. As we work to refine and expand our capabilities, we are dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and cleaner water solutions for a better future.


Investing in advanced separation technologies is essential for a safer environment. It ensures our water resources are preserved for future generations.


As we move forward, we invite you to join us in this journey towards sustainability and innovation. Together, we can contribute to reducing pollution and fostering a healthier planet.
