Introduction

Modern vehicles, including Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), and heavy-duty trucks, rely on water in critical systems such as membrane humidification, battery cooling, and exhaust after-treatment. These water systems are susceptible to contamination by micropollutants like microplastics, PFAS, biopolymers, and microfibers, which can compromise performance and longevity.

The Challenge

Contaminants in vehicle water systems can lead to:

• FCEVs: Decreased membrane efficiency and increased maintenance due to impurities in humidification water.

• BEVs: Reduced battery cooling efficiency and potential overheating from contaminated cooling circuits.

• Heavy-Duty Vehicles: Impaired exhaust after-treatment and cooling systems from fouling and scaling.

  
  

The Solution: SGen-I Technology

SATOORNIK's SGen-I technology offers a compact, chemical-free filtration solution that can be seamlessly integrated into vehicle water systems. By effectively removing micropollutants, SGen-I ensures:

• Enhanced system performance and longevity

• Reduced maintenance and operational costs

• Compliance with emerging environmental standards

  
  

This scalable solution protects critical components and supports the automotive industry's shift towards sustainability and regulatory compliance.
