The problem with antibiotics in water

Nowadays, the issue of water quality is becoming increasingly important. Antibiotic contamination in water poses a significant threat to the environment and human health. These residues enter our water sources through various routes, including human and animal excreta and inadequately disposed pharmaceutical waste. Evodrop AG, a leading Swiss company, offers innovative and sustainable solutions to effectively tackle this challenge.

How do antibiotics get into the water?

Antibiotic residues can enter rivers, lakes and groundwater via wastewater and agricultural runoff. Although many wastewater treatment plants are designed to remove a wide range of contaminants, they are not always able to completely filter out antibiotics. These traces in drinking water can pose long-term health risks and contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.

The solution from Evodrop AG: state-of-the-art water treatment

Evodrop AG stands for pioneering technologies in the field of water treatment. At a time when the contamination of water with antibiotics, microplastics and other pollutants is a growing problem, Evodrop has developed solutions that go far beyond what conventional systems can achieve. Thanks to years of research and development, Evodrop's systems combine efficiency, sustainability and safety at the highest level.

EVODROP AG: Advanced filtration technologies

Evodrop's core technology is based on a combination of innovative filtration methods and precise membranes. These technologies are designed to remove even the smallest contaminants, such as antibiotics and microplastics, from the water. The use of special filter media that work on a molecular level makes it possible to eliminate a wide range of pollutants without affecting the valuable minerals in the water.

Ion sieve technology

One of Evodrop's key technologies is ion sieve technology. This technology uses advanced membranes that are adapted to the specific size and structure of pollutants. The result is extremely high filtration performance, ensuring that even microscopic particles such as antibiotic residues, heavy metals and organic compounds are removed from the water. At the same time, vital minerals such as calcium and magnesium are retained in the water, resulting in healthy and balanced water.

Malic acid granules for descaling

Another highlight of Evodrop technology is the patented malic acid granulate, which has been specially developed to combat limescale. This natural substance, which is extracted from apples, changes the structure of the limescale molecules so that they are no longer able to build up in pipes and appliances. This not only ensures a longer service life for water pipes and household appliances, but also significantly reduces maintenance costs.

Sustainability and environmental friendliness

Evodrop focuses on sustainability and environmental awareness. In contrast to conventional water treatment systems, which often require chemicals, salt or electricity, Evodrop's systems work completely without these environmentally harmful components. By dispensing with chemical regeneration processes, Evodrop products help to protect the environment while ensuring high water quality. This environmentally friendly approach makes Evodrop an ideal solution for environmentally conscious households and businesses.
