Acuva Technologies makes next-gen water purification

ULtaviolet reactor provides low-cost and high-efficiency water purification.

Dr. Fariborz Taghipour,  a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, is an expert at computational modelling as it pertains to environmental engineering. His work led to the development of an ultraviolet light reactor that is able to provide low-cost and high-efficiency water purification. Dr. Taghipour and co-founder Manoj Singh formed Acuva Technologies to commercialize the photoreactor following an exclusive license from UBC.
