How husk works
Materials:
•On the sand (clay, silt, fine sand and courser sand) a layer of aggressive pathogens will grow and feed off of diseases in the water, killing almost 100% of the diseases. Multiple layers of this increases the success rate immensely. These materially also have extremely small particles (down to 0.002nm) which easily stop any virus particles such as polio – 30nm particles – from getting through.
•Rice husk ash is an extremely fine particle; it can physically prevent many pollutants from passing through. It can also stop larger bacteria from entering the next filtration layer and thus sanitises the water.
•The final layer, gravel, physically stops dirt, silt sand and so on from passing through to the collection layer for clean water.
Why rice husk ash:
•Rice is widely produced, especially in countries with economies primarily based on the primary sector (raw materials). Most of these counties are less economically developed and have high levels of rainfall for agriculture to thrive. These are the perfect places for Husk to help citizens with low standards of living.
•Bangladesh, Vietnam and Indonesia are 3 of the top 5 rice producers in the world, producing on average around 40 million tonnes of rice each every year. Around 20% of this is rice husk, an undesirable waste agricultural mass. That’s around 8 million tonnes of rice husk produced in each country annually. This means that in these countries, the cost of our product, HUSK, will fall further.
