Samples drawn from long term testing of the Nanocap has been confirmed to be 1000 times better than the competition.

It is true, however, the quality of the analyses can be discussed. At the moment, only off-line analyses are easily available to us. Off-line analyses means bottling water at the source and sending it off to 3rd party for analyses. This method has the obvious drawback that any organic pollutant can grow uncontrollably before the time of measuring. (The standard for Ultrapure water states that water should be measured “on-line“, meaning measuring water at the source inside the process machinery.)

Still, the Nanocap water measured 1,35 µg/ litre after shipping to the US. The most stringent level for the semiconductor industry called “type1water” (where we got our name) specifies not more than 1,0 µg/l (on-line)! So we are almost reaching on-line levels with water stored in glass containers for weeks! – “That is remarkable!” – says Andreas Tornblom, CEO

Typical numbers for offline measurements by our competitors are around 1000 times higher – around 1mg/l.

Du som är aktieägare i Xzero har per post fått 2 brev. Ett erbjudande gäller ”gratis” aktier för bolaget CWT och det andra för bolaget Type1water. Här erbjuder vi de som är aktieägare i Xzero att teckna motsvarande innehav av aktier som de har i Xzero i de båda del bolagen. En aktie i Xzero ger rätt till en ny aktie i CWT + en ny aktie i Type1Water.

Summan för hur många aktier man har och rätt att teckna finns i rutan i brevet. Här anges även den summa som ska betalas in för att erhålla aktierna.

Observera att breven är för de två olika bolagen och att det är olika summor som skall betalas in samt olika bg nr.

Följ instruktionerna på vardera brev. OBS. Det är viktigt att det görs en betalning per aktie och att information skrivs in vem som betalat (dvs. namn och personnummer) och vart aktierna skall skickas. Det går inte att lägga in i ISK-depå så ange VP-kontonummer för vanlig aktiedepå.

Long term testing has proved that we can reach the anticipated performance. Smaller re-design of the clean chamber outlet has contributed to a simpler layout and a more stable quality of the produced water. As the core module is producing 100% pure water, great effort is taken to distribute the water from inside the Nanocap and out to the user without polluting it. This is harder than it seems. Any interference with the water, such as measuring its temperature or pumping it might cause particles to be released from pipe walls or from any of the components present. Even exposing the water to air will instantly cause carbon dioxide to dissolve and cause Ions in the water. Early measurement of the quality of the water produced, indicates that we are in the same region as our reference installations.

With most of the subsystems in place and tested, long-term testing was supposed to take place during Christmas/ Newyears 2020/2021. The test was started and the Nanocap is producing water of expected quality, slowly approaching the target quality. However, it turns out that performing a long-term test according to the set specification was a very labor intensive task. Small adjustments to enable automated testing will be performed in the first weeks of 2021

Market interest is high. We have long standing relationship with key people, companies and organisations on the market. With a few of them we have performed tests whit dedicated purpose built equipment, but this time we are creating a small “standard” unit for interested parties to test themselves. The unit, or Nanocap, will harness the full power and simplicity of our technology and will enable companies to try themselves at their own premises. “There is no better marketing than letting them use the Nanocap and compare the result with what they are using today.” says Andreas, the CEO of Type1water. “It is better to let the technology speak for itself, rater than we telling them how good it is…”

The prototypes will be shipped out as soon as they are ready. There is a list of companies wanting to use them so they will need to stand in line. Feedback will be collected so that all the user experience will be incorporated in the coming generation. Serial production based on feedback from the market will start during 2021. We are communicating to companies testing the prototypes that the Nanocap will be commercially available during 2021.

Development of the three first prototypes is going well. We will start testing components and subsystems as soon as they can be delivered to to the Xzero lab. When all the subsystems has been tested and possibly adjusted, long term testing will follow. “We have complete knowledge and experience of our own technology, but dressing it up as commercial product by adding new components, parts and software, one have to be very careful not to introduce too many problems” says Alexander, Production Manager at Xzero. “If eveything works well, we will be able to finish the sub-system testing and start long term testing by Christmas.”

In order to demonstrate the power and simplicity of the Xzero technology, a decision has been taken to develop a desktop unit using only one (1) Xzero cassette. The unit will produce 1 litre of nanoparticle free water per hour and will be primarily destined for labs in the semiconductor industry. The unit will be ready for long term testing by our partners in the end of 2020 and commercially available during 2021. The unit will harness the full benefit of the Xzero module, and through it small format serve as a possibility for potential customers to “touch and feel” before investing in the process industry version of the Xzero technology.
