🌊 The Science Behind BluAct’s Water Purification System

BluAct offers a cutting-edge water purification technology that is simple, powerful, and sustainable ideal for island resorts seeking clean, reliable water without the burden of high energy use or complex maintenance.

Our Technology

Nature-Inspired Filtration Technology

At the heart of BluAct’s system is a material made from protein nanofibrils—tiny structures obtained from food-grade dairy proteins.

These fibrils are combined with activated carbon to form a powerful filtration media that captures the following pollutants with unprecedented efficiency:

 • Heavy metals (e.g., arsenic, lead, mercury)
 • Organic pollutants (e.g., pesticides, industrial
waste)
 • Viruses and bacteria

These hybrid membranes are not only highly
efficient (removing over 99% of contaminants), but also non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for humans and the environment.

No Power, No Pressure, No Problem

Unlike traditional filtration systems like reverse
osmosis or UV disinfection, BluAct’s solution
requires minimum power consumption, no additional pumps, or high-pressure systems. It works entirely through gravity and passive flow, making it ideal for off-grid or resource-limited
locations—like tropical resorts or remote islands.

And because the filter resists clogging, there’s no need for flushing or complex maintenance, reducing both downtime and operational efforts.

Engineered for Simplicity,
Proven in the Field

BluAct’s technology is backed by years of
award-winning research at ETH Zurich and has
been successfully deployed to remove contaminants from some of the world’s most water-challenged regions—including areas with arsenic levels over 800 ppb.

Its modular design makes it easy to integrate
into existing resorts’ infrastructures, whether for drinking water, pools, kitchens, or even wastewater reuse.
