THE TECHNOLOGY

Discover the innovation of
our photoelectrochemical equipment

We always use cutting-edge LED technology (UV-C, UV-B, UV-A, visible, IR, etc.) as source of light. Remarkably, the emitted radiation intensity can be regulated and the temperature of the LEDs is controlled through forced air convection.

Besides, in our photoelectroreactors, the active anodic area, the geometry and the material of the electrodes (BDD, carbon felt, IrO2, Ni, PtOx, RuO2, stainless steel, Ti, etc.) can be adjusted to your needs.
