The CabECO

The carbon-based electrochemical oxidation technology, acronymed by the Fraunhofer IST as "CabECO", excels as it does not need additional chemicals to efficently degrade persistent organic pollutants and to kill microbiological contaminants. In addition, the energy required for operation of the whole system solution needs only low direct current (DC) voltages and will be provided by photovoltaic modules to achieve a high degree of autonomy.
