Environmental Technologies in Israel

• Dealing With
• Water, Waste Water,
• Solid Waste, Alternative Energy, Air
  Pollution, Hazardous Waste, Polluted sites
• other Global and Local Environmental Problems

4
Water and Waste Water

• Desalination
• Filters and Automatic Valves
• Industrial Water Purification
• Water Meters
• Control and Automation
• Sewage Systems

5
Desalination Technologies

• Israeli companies are active in both R.O. and
  Evaporation methods, for large and small
  desalination plants.
• Israeli systems exist in Cyprus, the Caribbean
  Islands, South America, U.N. Forces in
  Yugoslavia, India and many other countries. The
  largest plant is being built in Israel, will be
  operative in 2005

Filters and Automatic Valves
Israeli made Filters and Automatic Valves are
Exported to all the Continents and are in the
front edge of the technology.

Water Meters
Israeli companies are leaders in the water
metering. Remote Control metering by electronic
devices are the fore-front of the technology
10
Control and Automation
Environmental monitoring, control and
communication are essential for environmental
maintenance. Israeli companies developed devices
for air quality monitoring, heavy metals in
water, hydrocarbons, specific ion analyzers and
other technologies and devices.
11
Fast and Accurate water monitoring by
luminousBacteria

• Principle - changes in the level of luminescence
  indicate potential toxicity.
• Reliable - highly accurate with only around 10
  deviation in precision.

Sewage Systems
Central Sewage Treatment Systems, On-Site Compact
Treatment Systems for small and remote
communities, upgrading existing facilities up to
double their current capacity. Israel is leading
the World in the rate of water reclamation to
Agriculture. About 70 of the sewage is recycled.
13
Compact Waste Water Treatment Plants

• Bio Robi- best solution for a single or a couple
  of houses

14
Bio Disk- Efficient solution for villages or
hotels
15
Wise solution for existing Sewage Plants
AqWise has developed the innovative AGAR
technology for performance enhancement, capacity
increase and nutrient removal for activated
sludge processes. The AGAR process, can double,
and even triple the capacity of existing
bio-reactors, usually with the existing
infrastructure.
16
Sludge Treatment

• sludge stabilization
• process, which blends
• wastewater sludge cakes
• with carefully selected
• alkaline admixtures, to
• produce a product,which
• is a granular easy to
• handle soil-like
• pasteurized material.

17
Solid Waste Treatment Since every human being
produces 1-2 kg of solid waste per day, disposal
became a major problem in most of the countries.

• Main technologies
• Sorting and Composting
• Gasification
• Bio-treatment of solid waste

Current status

• A semi-industrial pilot with a 10 tons per day
  capacity is the current stage of the
  development.

Biological Treatment and Energy Generation
Biological Treatment Technology, generating clean
energy from the degradable organic matter and
sorting the recyclable materials out of the
waste, is the Israeli new development.

Israeli consulting and engineering companies are
active all around the World, offering the best
know-how, technologies and expertise. Water
Saving, Combating Desertification,
Agro-Ecology, Animal Waste Treatment,
Environmental Risk Assessment,
Monitoring and Control Management,
Water Total Management are just a few topics
of specialty.

Research Development
There are 24 Industrial Incubators in Israel,
many of which are dealing with development of
Environmental Technologies. In all academic
institutes there are environmental technology
researches, looking for partners and cooperation
for further research and for commercialization,
when getting maturity.
Most of the Environmental Technology companies
have RD departments. Many Start-Up companies
seek international partners.
