MAR Systems provides proprietary processes for the removal of metal contaminants from water and industrial fluid waste streams through the use of recycled alumina catalysts — transforming waste alumina catalysts into a major contributor for improving the environment.

The current patent pending process — jointly developed with the United States Environmental Protection Agency — offers a low cost, state-of-the-art method for meeting the newly applied, more stringent U.S. drinking water standards for arsenic and for dealing with emerging, international water quality problems. The global market for the removal of arsenic from drinking water is projected to exceed $30B.

In addition, the proprietary technology shows promise in removing metal contaminants from gaseous streams, including coal-fired electrical generators and industrial incinerators. This process can lead to the reduction in emissions of mercury to the environment (a major contributor to contamination of fresh water aquatic life) — which generates $8B additional market potential.

MAR Systems is a spin-off of Cleveland-based, minority owned Metaloy, the global leader in providing innovation, alternate markets, and leading edge technologies for recycling in the international energy and chemical industries.
