Water Treatment System Component Redesign and Prototype Production with Additive Manufacturing

Econse成立于2013年，目标是利用最新的净水技术为客户提供最经济、最可持续的解决方案。Econse提供当今行业最先进的、不含化学物质的净水解决方案。他们的系统支持多种应用，包括饮用水、废水和工业废水。Econse系统是全自动化、集装箱化的，并为不同类型的客户安装即插即用设备，包括市政当局、偏远社区、废水处理和工业设施。Econse团队最近在开发具有纳米技术的反应堆部件方面取得了突破，这使得臭氧对病毒和其他病原体的消毒以及对令人担忧的化学物质的销毁更加有效。该组件的当前状态是概念设计，并通过流程建模和计算进行验证，Econse需要支持人员调查和开发组件复杂的内部设计几何形状，并使用附加制造来生产原型。莫霍克学院添加剂制造创新中心(AMIC)拥有丰富的经验和专业知识，负责调查功能需求、设计以及合作重新设计零部件、产品等。AMIC在添加制造(AM)(也称为3D打印)工艺、材料和AM设计方面拥有丰富的专业知识Econse和AMIC将合作研究和进一步开发组件设计，并测试AM生产的多个原型，首先在聚合物中测试和迭代几何和结构，然后在金属中进行有效的真实世界测试。AM作为一种合适的生产工艺的组件设计和验证的结果将改进Econse的净水解决方案，以扩大其市场，并为其客户和环境提供更好的水质。

Econse was founded in 2013 with the goal of providing the most economical and sustainable solutions tocustomers by utilizing the latest technology in water purification. Econse provides the most advanced,chemical-free water purification solutions in the industry today. Their systems support multiple applicationsincluding drinking water, wastewater, and industrial wastewater. Econse systems are fully automated,containerized, and have plug and play installation for different client types, including municipalities, remotecommunities, wastewater and industrial facilities. The Econse team has achieved a recent breakthrough in thedevelopment of a reactor component with nanotechnology that makes the ozone disinfection of viruses andother pathogens, and the destruction of chemicals of concern more efficient. The component's current state isconceptual design with validation through flow modelling and calculations, and Econse requires supportinvestigating and developing the component's complex internal design geometry and production of prototypeswith additive manufacturing. The Mohawk College Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC) hasexperience and expertise investigating functional needs, designs, and collaborating to redesign components,products and more. AMIC has extensive expertise with additive manufacturing (AM) (also known as 3Dprinting) processes, materials, and design for AM. Econse and AMIC will collaborate to investigate and furtherdevelop the component design, and test multiple AM-produced prototypes, first in polymer to test and iteratethe geometry and structure, and then in metal for effective real world testing. The results of the componentredesign and validation of AM as a suitable production process will improve Econse's water purificationsolutions to expand their market and provide better water quality for their clients and the environment.
