Partners Portfolio

Aqwise
	Aqwise is a world leader in the development and implementation of advanced wastewater treatment solutions for the Industrial and Municipal markets. Aqwise’s proprietary family of solutions significantly increases the capacity and efficiency of existing wastewater treatment plants, while offering compact and scalable deployment of new plants. Aqwise has entered into a joint development program with Mekorot-WaTech^® for field-testing an advanced biological treatment technology for Nitrate contamination in drinking water.
Atlantium
	Atlantium has developed patent-pending technology for the disinfection of water in real-time at high flow rates. Atlantium’s solution exposes a flow of water to UV-based HOD light. Atlantium's technology is currently implemented in Mekorot's wells.
BacSoft
	BacSoft is developing a remote monitoring and control M2M platform for mission-critical equipment and sites, water and industrial systems in the field, using the GPRS cellular infrastructure, with WEB, WAP, SMS and SCADA interfaces, and set of tools for the user to build his own applications. BacSoft has entered into a joint development program with Mekorot and currently implementing it's technology in Mekorot's facilities.
BotanoCap
	Botanocap specializes in the development of environmentally friendly pesticides based on Essential Oils produced from plant material. The pesticides are benign to human beings and do not pollute water supplies or the environment. The company has patented a unique technology that ensures a precise and accurate distribution of the pesticide which, after completing its task, decomposes leaving no traces in the plants or the soil. Mekorot and BotanoCap are co-operating in the development of a pesticide for the control of water insects.
CheckLight
	CheckLight develops, manufactures and delivers innovative early warning solutions for rapid detection of contamination in drinking water, through the use of sensitized luminescent bacteria. CheckLight technology has been verified by the US Environmental protection agency (EPA), and its products are marketed to water utilities, environmental monitoring agencies, through a global distribution network in Asia, Europe and America. The system is currently in beta testing by Mekorot’s water quality team.
Genaphora
	Genaphora, based on its proprietary computational-biology platform and chimeric DNA/RNA methodology for noise reduction, is developing advanced molecular diagnostics kits leveraging standard real-time PCR. Initially targeting the water testing market, these kits will provide labs with more sensitive, accurate and cost-effective results in hours instead of days
Lesico CleanTech
	Lesico Cleantech Ltd (LC) is a company specializing in acquiring and accelerating the commercialization of innovative, next-generation high recovery systems and zero liquid discharge technologies. The company developed a novel electro-dialysis method that provides superior performance in a number of desalination applications. Lesico Cleantech has entered into a joint development program with Mekorot.
Rotec Ltd
	Rotec Ltd. is a developer of innovative technologies to improve RO/NF membrane desalination efficiency. The increased efficiency is achieved by periodic flow reversal in the feed side of the membrane module train, which is accomplished by switching the connection points of the feed and concentrate lines. Based on proprietary know-how using a special sensor that is being developed in cooperation with leading universities in Israel and the U.S., the periodic reversal is carried out before significant scaling occurs as monitored in-situ by the special sensor. This prevents unnecessary flow switches but protects the membrane from possible changes in feed and operating conditions. The system has passed an Alfa test at Mekorot and proved its efficiency.
Solaris Synergy
	Solaris Synergy is developing a floating solar energy generation systems utilizing Silicon photovoltaic cells. The system uses in a unique way the water in the reservoir for cooling the PV cells and keeping them at low and stable temperature. As a result the PV efficiency is increased by up to 20%. Solaris Synergy and Mekorot will jointly perform a beta test in "Tkuma reservoir", which is a part of Mekorot purified waste water system.
Tectosense
	Tectosense was founded by scientists from the Geophysics Department at Tel Aviv University that is focused on developing early warning systems for earthquakes. The Quake Finder System offers a solution for automatic earthquake prediction within effective time frames by implementing a concept that relies on multidisciplinary data correlation (many of which are gathered in water wells), improving prediction accuracy based on the accumulation of events, a self-teaching system that improves its prediction based on past scenarios.
