Water Reuse in IndustryChallenges:
Water quality requirements are highTreatment of industrial pollutants is difficult
Drivers:Regulation+enforcement: Discharge quality restrictions; Tight
quotasCost: Fresh water consumption; Wastewater discharge
Solutions:Flow source separationEqualization tanksMatch the right technology
Ex.: Intel Israel, Kiryat Gat factory reuse over 50%. Goal: 80%Government support: Loans for establishing reuse systems

Private Incubators (1)Kinrot VenturesFounded in 1993; Privatized in 2006Main operation model: PPP - Private-Public-
Partnership combining the owners and Chief Scientist incubator program
Portfolio: 14 companies, 10 in water:TA Count - Near real time sensor for detection of
reproducible microorganismsDiffusaire - Energy saving aeration technologyFiltofleX - Fine filtration flexible mediaand more . . .
21
Private Incubators (2)L.N. Green Technological IncubatorOperating almost 20 yearsEstablished more than 70 companiesFocused on environment since 2007Portfolio: 9 companies, 3 in water:
JP AquaKnit - 3D flexible biomass carrier for WWTAgRobotics - Anerobic process for high organic loadAccurate Watering - Sprinklers for irregular areas
23
Treatec 21 IndustriesSector: Wastewater treatment1996: Academic research at the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem2000: IP registration by “Yissum”2002: Ashkelon incubator supported
by the Chief Scientist ofthe Ministry of Economy
2004: Private investor - Solor2010: Merged into a public company, traded in Tel
Aviv Stock Exchange - Yaad Industries
24
A.R.I.Sector: Water meteringChallenge addressed: Low flow metering at homesCollaboration with Jerusalem’s local water company
(Hagihon) to install at “neighborhood scale” of 5,000 homes
Support budget: EUR 200,000Success boosted
international sales !
25
DiffusaireSector: Aeration - Wastewater treatmentChallenge addressed: Reduce
aeration energy costCollaboration with a municipal water
company to install in their WWTPSupport budget: EUR 50,000Project started: 2012Success in reducing energy cost
dramatically - Company ready for the next step - private investment
26
Applied CleanTechSector: Wastewater treatmentChallenge addressed: Reuse of solidsNewtech: Collaboration with a municipal water
company; ACT decided to use private investment.Support budget: NoneKey issue: Newtech’s support brought the partners
together
27
ConclusionsMotivation: Survival . . .Focus = Dedicated program NEWTECHSupport from pure R&D to global expansion,
Connecting the pieces of the puzzlePrivate initiatives strengthened by state policy
