Curio Water Brings Roturi® Ozonisation Technology to the UK for Micropollutant Removal

Curio Water has announced a strategic partnership with SKion Water and German specialist up2e! to introduce its Roturi® ozonation technology to the United Kingdom and Ireland. The collaboration aims to strengthen the UK’s capacity to remove micropollutants from water while improving efficiency and reducing energy demand.The Roturi® system is an innovative inline gas transfer solution designed to dissolve gases such as ozone directly into liquid streams. Unlike traditional gas-mass-transfer technologies, which rely on high-pressure velocity differences or large reaction basins, Roturi® creates a large reaction surface within the pipeline itself. This compact design results in highly efficient gas transfer with significantly lower energy consumption and reduced gas losses.The technology can be retrofitted into existing treatment facilities or integrated into new systems, making it suitable for companies working to meet stricter environmental standards on micropollutant removal. As the sole trading partner for Roturi®-based ozonisation systems in the UK and Ireland, Curio Water will oversee testing, demonstration, and deployment, supported by SKion Water’s international network and up2e!’s technical expertise.

Curio Water will also work with Cranfield University and water sector partners to validate the technology under real operating conditions. up2e! will provide training, equipment, and marketing support to ensure smooth integration into treatment sites.nline ozonation system integrated into a water treatment pipeline.

Howard Marles, Chief Executive of Curio Water, said:

The Roturi® system represents an important advance for the UK’s water industry in tackling micropollutants. Many conventional technologies involve high energy use, large basins, and gas losses. This compact and efficient system provides a scalable and cost-effective ozonisation process that also reduces long-term operational costs.

Wolfgang Neuhaus and Ulla Poeschl, Managing Partners of up2e! GmbH, added:

Roturi® has proven its efficiency and reliability across multiple industries worldwide, improving gas-liquid mass transfer with reduced ozone demand and smaller reactor requirements. We are pleased to collaborate with Curio Water to support UK utilities in applying this technology.
