Next-Gen Water Filtration for Urban Sustainability
No certification-grade performance data to support compliance and public-sector adoption.
ICP-MS validation combined with filtration durability testing and benchmarking.

Environmental & Materials Analysis
With an environmental-tech startup, we validated a nanomaterial water filtration system under real urban runoff, with peer-reviewable results.
The Challenge
The startup's technology had promise but lacked the third-party data, regulatory documentation and scientific credibility to enter the municipal water market. Without certified validation, procurement and environmental approval were out of reach.
Solution
We designed a full-spectrum validation strategy:
- ICP-MS trace-metal testing (lead, cadmium)
- Flow and pressure analysis under simulated urban runoff
- Durability testing over 100+ hours
- Benchmarking against EPA standards and existing solutions
- Structured reporting aligned to municipal procurement docs
Result
The project closed with certification-grade validation and submission-ready documentation, supporting an initial rollout across three districts with city-wide potential.
This partnership was the turning point that turned an idea into a funded, city-backed solution.
“They gave us the credibility, data and confidence to turn a concept into a fundable, deployable solution.”
