TankPro have taken out the award for Innovation of the Year for its environmentally friendly, chemical free, water sanitation device.
The TankPro is designed to sanitise water in rainwater tanks; grey water aerated waste water treatment systems and water collection units in times of emergency and famine relief aid.
Robert Romer is the inventor and Director of TankPro and accepted the award on the event night.
“Thank you for the recognition from the judges and BPN, it’s been a tough struggle but the impact this will have in developing countries is huge, I just want to say thank you.”
The judges acknowledged the growing importance of thinking of innovative ways to capture water:
"TankPro provides a low energy way to improve water to a potable standard.
"This is a genuine innovation that addresses a big issue. Capturing water will only become more necessary in the future, so it is vital to have flexible and adaptable systems like this available.
"Being non-toxic, it removes the need to transport chemical to sites, making it harmless way of dealing with a common problem.
"It also deserves praise for its potential for humane applications like relief in disaster areas."
The TankPro TP250 unit has been designed to suit the growing needs of water sanitation within home rainwater and grey water tanks. It simply sits in the water, eliminating water borne disease and bacteria commonly found in these tanks such as debris and catchment load, fecal coliforms (bird droppings) and Tannin staining.
The TankPro TP250 water recycling sterilising unit has been developed to provide assistance for the eco-friendly reuse of stored water. It is a stand alone sterilising unit that will decisively kill all human harmful micro-organisms, bacteria and viruses commonly found in stored or collected water. With the ability to provide a sanitised collected water environment as a stand alone product that can run on mains power, car or motorbike battery, solar or wind turbine power.

-
TankPro is a first, one of a kind, patent pending product designed to eliminate the need to sanitise collected water with additional chemicals which effectively harm the environment.
-
TankPro sanitises grey water also by killing off the dangerous bacteria found in collection tanks, grey water must be treated within 24 hours and always before use in the garden and around homes. Also important is the decontamination of grey water prior to any possible leak into estuaries or creeks.
-
TankPro uses the minerals within these tanks to sanitise the environments, rainwater for consumption and grey water for safe cross over and interaction, as well no environmental impact issues.
-
Environmentally friendly, portable, easy to maintain, can be used all over the world and is capable of running off mains power (via the small TP250 PowerPack), solar power wind turbine and car or motorbike battery power in times of emergency.
-
TankPro is committed to manufacturing, designing and developing high quality sanitation units that produce a Sterilising Biocide manufactured by the low voltage emission using electrolysis, converting the mineral salts within the actual stored water, sanitising the stored water environment onsite.
-
The production of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) by the TankPro TP250 unit produces an optimal result in recycling, treating, sterilising, disinfecting water stored in rainwater tanks, grey water storage tanks, portable water containers and aerated waste water treatment systems. With the reuse of already available minerals within the collected water TankPro is totally environmentally friendly, portable, easy to use and maintain with world wide electrical approvals.
