About Atlantium Technologies

Based in Beit Shemesh, Israel, Atlantium Technologies Ltd. is a key player in the global water treatment market, specializing in chemical-free disinfection using ultraviolet (UV) technology. The company was established in 2003 by founders Benjamin Kahn and Zamir Tribelsky. Kahn, the principal investor and a recognized environmentalist, was named a 'Hero of the Environment' by Time magazine in 2007. Atlantium is currently led by CEO Yariv Abramovich, who brings extensive management experience from the biotechnology, energy, and environmental sectors, with a focus on commercializing new technologies.

Atlantium's core business revolves around its proprietary Hydro-Optic™ (HOD) Disinfection UV technology. This system leverages a concept similar to fiber optics called Total Internal Reflection, which effectively traps and recycles UV light within a high-grade quartz chamber to ensure a uniform and effective dose is delivered to the water. This design allows for a more efficient microbial inactivation compared to conventional UV systems and serves as a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments and heat pasteurization. The company's product portfolio includes solutions for municipal water supplies and a diverse range of industrial clients in sectors such as beverage, biopharma, food processing, aquaculture, and power generation. It also provides the Purestream™ Ballast Water Management System for the marine industry.

The company generates revenue through the sale and installation of these advanced water treatment systems. With over 3,000 installations worldwide, its client roster includes major corporations like Coca-Cola and Nestlé. The systems are validated to meet high regulatory standards, including those from the U.S. EPA and FDA, a key selling point for clients in highly regulated industries. Atlantium has secured significant funding over its history, including a $9 million Series B round in 2013, to support its growth and technological development.
