HKUST Develops New Multifunctional Hydrogel for Odor and Microbial Control in Hong Kong’s Drainage and Flushing Systems
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have new technology to treat odors and germs in drainage and flush water. The MalOdor-Control (MOC) hydrogel is proven effective in treating odor problems at drainage locations, including manholes, nullah, intercepts, water channels, and rivers in Hong Kong. It worked by killing odor-causing microbes and preventing emissions of odorous gases.  Meanwhile, the new hydrogel formula AntiMicrobial hydroGel (AMGel) disinfects flush water of bacteria and viruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain as well.
