British enterprises to develop new UV-CLED module can be used for space water purification system

British AquiSense technology, developed using UV-C band UV LED module, and applied in a variety of fields, such as medicine and plants. The day before, the company's technology, has been chosen for use in the international space in the field of BIOWYSE project, which is used in the biological integrated control system of space exploration plan, will create a self-sufficient, in the human exploration of ecological control system using space in the universe.

AquiSense is a member of a consortium of seven companies, including the famous Italian company Thales Alenia Space, which is the main component of the international space station components above zero. According to the BIOWYSE project, they are now actively developing a test environment to integrate resources, as well as the latest technology, in this small system.
