The Starfish purification technology is considered to be the world's most advanced water purification technology.
It is a chemical free process that has exceptional microbiological kill power and chemical removal capabilities. (These have been independently tested and certified) It can produce high volumes of drinking water at a fraction of the cost of other technologies currently available.
The Starfish System will:

Features & Benefits
The Starfish technology is unique, not just for its proven water purification capabilities, but also because its innovative engineering and construction delivers a robust, user friendly system that has lower running costs and significantly reduced environmental impacts versus all other conventional systems.
Take a look at the various areas where the Starfish systems delivers superior results:
Water Treatment - Operational Aspects
Here are the key areas where the Starfish system differs from, and exceeds, conventional water treatment systems on an operational basis.
Performance Parameters
The Starfish system delivers superior and consistent results for water purification across and wide range of contaminants and pollutants, beating WHO drinking water standards and most other water purifying technologies. Starfish delivers great tasting, good looking water that is taint & odour free.
Environmental Impact
It is essential for the wellbeing of the environment that any detrimental impacts of human activity are minimized. The Starfish water purification system ensures that this happens by consuming less energy & materials than other systems, operating to minimize waste by-products and reducing depletion of an already limited water supply.
It really does provide the answers to the need to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
All of the features detailed will significantly improve the Green Credentials of any operator of the Starfish system for their water supply requirements.
Physical Capabilities
The Starfish water treatment system is engineered for performance and reliability. Its innovative design contains a number of unique features that make it easier to install and simpler to operate than many other conventional water treatment technologies.
Financial Delivery
Water treatment is often expensive and capital intensive. The price of water continues to increase. Under the current industry constraints, this will not change, costs will continue to escalate.
The Starfish water treatment system offers a different option, one of lower operating costs and reduced capital outlay.
Materials & maintenance costs and management plus the required staffing are also significantly lowered, releasing resources (space, staff) for redeployment.
The risk to security of supply is also diminished when recycling process water, another key financial planning consideration.
Another benefit of the Starfish system is that it can complement existing technologies. With reverse osmosis, pre-treatment by Starfish will deliver water with a reduced waste load thereby lowering the stress on the RO system. The results? A more efficient and cost effective water management system.
The water treatment systems and processes that Starfish use are all proven, certified by independent testing laboratories, and are fully patent protected. Starfish water purification technologies are outstanding in both terms of their cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
Application
Reduce reliance on external water supplies, Reduce the cost of purchasing and/or discharging water by Recycling for Reuse.
1. Improving the quality of input (external) water streams regardless of the supply source:
Thereby delivering water ‘fit for purpose’ at reduced costs.
2. Recycling process (internal) water streams for reuse:
3. Treat output water streams to discharge or reuse standard:
Thereby ensuring water is safe for reuse or return to the local water cycle and as the Starfish system is multi-use, modular, scalable and flexible, it is suitable for deployment across sites with multiple water treatment needs, thereby removing the need to transport all waste water back to one central Water Treatment Facility (WTF).
Technology
The Starfish water purification system is a unique and patented combination of processes that are all naturally occuring. This combination produces water that is free from biological contamination such as viruses, bacteria, spores & molds, from chemical contaminants & pollutants such as hormones, metals, arsenic and PCBs and most suspended solids (TSS).
In addition, the way the Starfish water purification systems are engineered allows these processes to perform at low cost with minimal maintenance for maximum cost efficiency.
The Starfish systems works with several unique operating features that all contribute to the technology’s reliability, durability, cost efficiency and robustness. It is multi-chambered, allowing the water to receive a variety of treatments, dependent on the quality of the input feed. It also ensures that there is significant redundancy built in to each unit.
As opposed to reverse osmosis (RO) systems, for instance, the Starfish water treatment system is gravity fed allowing it to operate at very low pressure and with variable flow rate control. Most water treatment systems force water to travel horizontally requiring significant energy to generate pressure.
The Starfish water purification system only requires electrical power to run its’ photoelectric ultraviolet (UV) inputs. This makes it comparatively low on overall energy consumption.
The Starfish system has no moving parts, being almost completely constructed from uPVC ensures that the units are tough, robust, reliable and very nearly maintenance free.
For conventional technologies, such as reverse osmosis, the removal of filtered material is a time consuming process that requires large amounts of the clean water already produced, sometimes up to 50-70%. The Starfish optimised ozone fractionation system draws any wastes off the top of each treatment chamber for central collection and disposal. This results in greatly reduced cleaning times and a water attrition rate of less than 5%.
