This post is a part of the Early Stage Climate Startup series from Climafix 2024


Highlights

  • Asmi’s RO waste water purification system features IoT-enabled real-time monitoring and AI solutions. Utilizing a patented graphene-based filtration method that removes up to 99% of heavy metals and contaminants, ensuring high-efficiency purification.

1. Value Proposition

  • Smart Water Filters: Patented graphene filters recycle wastewater from domestic RO systems, featuring IoT-enabled monitoring to track water quality parameters like pH, TDS, and levels of heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead, chromium).

2. Pain Points

  • High Water Wastage: Traditional systems waste up to 75% of input water. Asmi’s technology recycles this rejected water.
  • Heavy Metal Contamination: In rural India, heavy metal contamination poses a health risk. Asmi’s systems monitor and reduce hazardous levels of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead.

3. Climate Impact

  • Asmi’s recycling-based filtration technology ensures upto 100% water recovery. Their graphene filters prevents harmful chemical release into natural ecosystems. 

4. Current & Future Target Segments

  • Current Target Segments: Pharmaceuticals, energy sector, water treatment plants, and both rural and urban households.
  • Future Target Segments: Partnering with government bodies for large-scale purification projects and collaborations with international organizations.

5. USPs

  • Provides real-time tracking of pH, TDS, nitrates, and heavy metals. Self-powered sensors enable remote data collection with lossless transmission, ensuring consistent, low-energy operation.
  • Patented graphene-based filters remove up to 99% of heavy metals and contaminants of waste RO water efficiently.

6. Team Profiles

  • Prof. Swati Ghosh Acharyya, PhD (Founder & Director): An award-winning materials engineer with over 15 years of experience, Prof. Acharyya drives the company’s R&D efforts. She has received multiple awards for her work in corrosion science and materials engineering​.
  • Mr. Priyabrata Patra, MTech (Founder & Technology Head): With extensive expertise in technology development, Priyabrata leads the company’s engineering and innovation efforts, ensuring better performance of IoT-based water purification systems.

7. Startup Headquarters

  • India: Hyderabad
