WOW SOLUTIONMission: Research of new scientific solutions to
improve daily living and to offer back to humanity absolutely pure water, pure world and health without
using consumables.
we focus on
LiquidsDecontaminationthrough an innovative
technology
WOW WaterStrictly Confidential 3
…Separating
contaminating Molecules and anions/cations are separated
from Water Molecules.
Pure Water is extracted from any polluted solution
Water from any fluid…
WOW WaterStrictly Confidential 4
…Evaporating
Selective Evaporation is the basic technology on which we additionally
apply truly innovative WOW’s technology to achieve any level of
pure water is needed
Water from any fluid…
WOW WaterStrictly Confidential 5
…ImprovingUp-to-date decontamination
performances without using Additional Tools (i.e. membrane, distillation
column, demister, reflux, coalescer etc.) nor consumables,
while evaporation effectiveness improves at a level never experienced
beforeoffering
a Decontamination Factor increased by orders of magnitudes.
Water from any fluid…
WOW WaterStrictly Confidential 6
…Enhancing
“performance with
control” can become our claim
thanks to our discovery and to its mathematical model developed by us, we
can control the typical entrainment effect of any evaporation,
deciding what to allow to be dragged from the water molecules and what not
Water from any fluid…

…Purifying
Water from any kind of contaminants: we eliminate bacteria, viruses, protozoa,
pathogens, parasites, toxins, any liquid or solid contaminant, every
vector of disease and any pollutant,
with “just” a mathematically modeled thermo- and fluid-dynamic process
Water from any fluid…

… is based on a discovery and on a proprietary thermo- and fluid - dynamic process managed
by a Mathematical Model:
• Selective evaporative system, • Single continuous stage process ( no
batch ),• With full management of drag/entrainment
effect,• No additional tools needed, e.g.:
no filter or membrane, no demister device, no de-entrainment device & no mesh separators, no trays/plates bubble caps, no baffles suppression trays, no packing assembly, no column/tower distillation, no reflux distributor, no raschig rings, no liquid-vapor coalesce, no consumable.
Note: through these tools we can furtherly improve results.
