Proven Results: AquaChar Filters Deliver Powerful Water Purification
We’re excited to share real-world test results that show how effective AquaChar’s SYNSTEC filtration system is at cleaning contaminated water—turning polluted rivers into safe, thriving ecosystems.
What We Tested
Our pilot project, led by the Clean River Foundation in Des Plaines, Illinois, evaluated two AquaChar prototypes. The goal: remove dangerous contaminants from river water at Woodlawn Park and prove that our SYNSTEC-lattice filter system can outperform conventional tech.
Top Results from the Field
✔️ 100% Removal of E. coli & Coliform Bacteria
The system completely eliminated harmful bacteria—making water safe for both wildlife and communities.
✔️ Lead Reduction by 97.67%
From a staggering 136,000 μg/L down to just 3,170 μg/L in 45 minutes.
✔️ Phosphate Removal That Prevents Algae Blooms
Phosphates are one of the leading causes of toxic algae—our system brought them down to ecologically safe levels.
✔️ Significant Arsenic Elimination
Known for causing skin cancers and long-term health issues, arsenic was substantially reduced.
✔️ Effective Removal of:
-
Glyphosate (common in agricultural runoff)
-
Chlorides, Nitrates, and Fluoride
-
Mercury and even traces of Methane (per University of Miami procedures)
Prototype Performance
| Metric | Prototype 1 | Prototype 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Target Flow Rate (gal/min) | 0.2 | 1.7 |
| Measured Flow Rate | 3.5 | 3.5 |
| Performance vs Goal | 20.2× | 2.0× |
Prototype 1 didn’t just meet expectations—it beat the performance goal of Prototype 2 by more than 10x. That’s proof of efficiency, scalability, and smart design.
