Electraqua Tech

Electraqua Tech is a University of Barcelona spin-off specializing in electrochemical wastewater treatment. The company provides advanced decontamination systems centered on a proprietary electrochemical reactor that produces hydrogen peroxide in situ. By using only atmospheric oxygen, electricity, and the generated peroxide, the technology enables advanced oxidation processes that degrade persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceutical residues, and microorganisms into innocuous compounds. This approach offers a cleaner, modular, and more sustainable alternative to traditional biological treatment methods, as it eliminates the need for external chemical reagents and can be powered by renewable energy sources.

These solutions are designed to help industrial clients, particularly in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, comply with increasingly stringent water treatment regulations by treating contaminants at the source. Electraqua Tech supports clients through the full project lifecycle, including feasibility studies, customized system design, turnkey installation, and post-sales technical maintenance. By enabling the effective removal of recalcitrant compounds, the company helps industries reduce their environmental impact and facilitates the potential reuse of treated water, addressing critical global challenges in water scarcity and pollution.
