Solar-Powered Lake Purifiers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Lily the Lake Purifier' is a Mercury Filter and Uses Synthetic Coral

— January 7, 2017 — Eco
The rising levels of mercury in our water sources is becoming alarming, so 'Lily the Lake Purifier' is a mercury filter that's designed to help purify in a streamlined way. Featuring a filter that's made using synthetic coral, 'Lily the Lake Purifier' is a solar-powered unit that can be used in a hands-off way to help purify large bodies of water.

'Lily the Lake Purifier' has a mercury filter that is intended to only allow water to pass through, so fish and other aquatic creatures won't become stuck in the unit. The filtering device has an anchor on the bottom portion of the unit that is attached to the main unit via a chain. This allows the buoy to stay in place, while the top portion remains visible to boaters and swimmers.
Trend Themes
1. Solar-powered Water Purification - Developing solar-powered water purification systems can disrupt the traditional water treatment industry and provide sustainable solutions.
2. Mercury Filtration Technology - Advancements in mercury filtration technology can lead to innovative solutions for reducing mercury contamination in water sources.
3. Streamlined Water Purification Processes - Streamlining water purification processes using innovative designs and materials can revolutionize the way large bodies of water are treated.
Industry Implications

2. Environmental Technology - The environmental technology industry can explore mercury filtration innovations to provide effective solutions for water pollution and ecosystem protection.
3. Water Treatment - Water treatment industry can adopt streamlined water purification processes and leverage new materials to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
