Technology used on early space missions is being revived by two Fife companies to provide clean water for 100,000 people in Pakistan, with help from the James Hutton Institute and National University of Science and Technology in Islamabad.
The original Electro Chemical Activated Solutions technology was developed to create a cleaner for solar panels on Soviet space craft 40 years ago, and is now being used by ADVES Water Ltd and Bridge Technologies to deliver a high-quality purification facility for providing clean water.
