The Problem
The global water crisis in numbers
Traditional treatment methods are not designed to keep up with today's emerging contaminants.
Lost annually to contaminated water
Industrial wastewater discharged untreated
New emerging contaminants since 2015

The Xatoms Impact
Clean water where it matters most.
Complex contaminant removal
Targets industrial contaminants including organic compounds, emerging contaminants, bacteria, and heavy metals, tailored to specific streams for more effective water reuse.
Low-energy activation
Driven by visible light (sunlight or LED), eliminating reliance on energy-intensive UV systems and reducing operational energy demand.
Reusability & waste reduction
The photocatalyst is reusable across multiple treatment cycles, reducing material consumption, secondary waste, and overall environmental footprint compared to single-use chemicals.
Cost-efficient treatment
Reduces operational costs by minimizing chemical dosing and energy input compared to conventional advanced oxidation processes, using a reusable photocatalytic system.
Drop-in integration
Designed to integrate into existing water treatment systems without major infrastructure changes.
