As a part of the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program, which provides software for emerging clean tech companies in North America and Europe, APTwater will use digital prototyping technologies such as Autodesk Inventor software to produce reactor designs that utilize every square inch of usable space with the help of Autodesk reseller KETIV Technologies.

The company will use Autodesk Vault Professional software to create digital prototypes and then share the design and engineering data across offices to reduce the amount of time required to create water treatment reactors and deploy them in the field.

This, in turn, will cut the amount of time before APTwater’s customers can turn a contaminated water source back into a viable source of clean, reusable water.

APTwater’s reactors treats water by creating a chemical reaction that oxidizes and destroys biologically toxic and non-biodegradable materials, including pesticides, herbicides, petroleum and other volatile agricultural and organic compounds, without leaving behind any harmful by-products.

Louis LeBrun, vice president of business development at APTwater, said: “We need to optimize our designs for use in very tight spaces, and we simply wouldn’t be able to do that without the 3D modeling tools in Autodesk Inventor.

“Inventor software helps us make our pipe reactors as small and efficient as possible, and makes our injection points fit perfectly into the limited space we have available.”
