Technology

Magpie Polymers has developed a groundbreaking polymer technology for water-filtration. The chemical nature of the polymers means that they capture metals using coordination chemistry. This is a completely different mechanism to what is commonly used, giving Magpie Polymers a number of key technical advantages :

  • Unequaled selectivity (1000 times more selective for example to separate copper from chromium)
  • 10 to 100 times more efficient in the removal of trace metals
  • Unchanged efficiency in hard or salty water

This makes the polymers particularly suitable for the treatment of industrial water containing high levels of dissolved metal with strict requirements for the water after treatment. Magpie offers its clients a unique way to :

  • Improve industrial processes (saving cost and increasing efficiency)
  • Recover metals used in or extracted from its processes
  • Abide by increasingly strict regulations
  • Operate in a sustainable manner
