The
Cleantech Open? a prestigious annual competition for U.S. tech startups that protect, restore, and reduce the negative impact of humans on the environment? announced its 2010 winners this week. Puralytics, a clean water startup from Beaverton, Oregon, took first prize. The Puralytics team invented and sells a nanotechnology-based, photochemical water purification system that, in comparison to other available systems, can purify water more quickly, remove more impurities from it, and requires less electricity to do so. With 15 percent of the world's total estimated 6.5 billion population lacking freshwater enough to live a healthy life today, companies with promising water technology are in demand, and could help abate
a global water and humanitarian crisis.
