From Engineering to Practice
Deltanova was founded by three people: besides Bianco, also Tiziana Anna Elisabetta Tosco and Rajandrea Sethi – both professors at DIATI. The spinoff stems from the vast experience of the Groundwater Engineering Research Group, dedicated to the applications of engineering to groundwater.
Nanoremediation: Invisible Technology, Global Impact
The company has developed a technology platform that involves the use of nanoparticles which, once injected into the ground, are capable of removing toxic and carcinogenic pollutants.
Use of technologies involving nanoparticles capable of removing toxic and carcinogenic pollutants once injected into the ground.
“We have engineered advanced approaches to create a highly stable colloidal suspension that makes it possible to effectively inject reactive nanoparticles into the subsoil,” explains Bianco. “Once the particles come into contact with the contaminants, they can transform or immobilize them, rendering them harmless.”
Patented Innovation: Aquirem
The research work led to the filing of five patents, including the highly innovative Aquirem approach. This technology uses liquid, eco-friendly reagents to synthesize nanomaterials directly in the subsoil, increasing remediation effectiveness even in low-permeability systems.
- Effectiveness: Visible results just a few weeks after treatment.
- Sustainability: Highly environmentally compatible reagents.
- Efficiency: Drastic reduction in time and costs compared to “pump and treat” methods.
International Presence
To date, Deltanova has applied its technologies in the USA and several Italian regions, including Piedmont, Sicily, and Emilia-Romagna. The company is constantly looking for new investors and industrial partners to test cutting-edge solutions for tomorrow’s environmental challenges.
