Sustainability has ceased to be a trend and has become a tangible value criterion within the Argentine real estate and industrial market. In this scenario, the company Aquanex positions itself as a strategic ally for construction companies, developers, and companies seeking to integrate efficient water treatment technologies into their projects, improving the durability of installations and optimizing energy efficiency.
The challenge of hard water in Argentina
In much of the country, water presents medium to high hardness levels, exceeding 180 mg/L of calcium carbonate, according to the Argentine Food Code. This condition causes problems such as:
- Calcium deposits in pipes and fixtures.
- Corrosion in thermal systems.
- Performance loss in boilers and industrial equipment.
These effects imply high maintenance costs and a direct impact on energy efficiency, in addition to affecting the perceived quality by end users.
Aquanex and IPS technology
“Today, real estate value is also measured by the efficiency of the systems that comprise it. Incorporating clean water treatment technologies, such as those from Aquanex, not only protects installations but also adds value to the project, enhances the environmental reputation of brands, and reduces operational costs in the long term,” highlighted Matthieu Lamoliatte, CEO of Aquanex.
The company is the official distributor in Argentina of Swiss Aqua Technologies (SAT) and offers the KalyxX system, based on Ion Polarization System (IPS) technology.
Main features:
- Modifies the structure of hard water minerals without removing their natural properties.
- Prevents scale formation without electricity, chemicals, or maintenance.
- Reduces scale formation by up to 90%.
- Extends the lifespan of thermal equipment and improves energy efficiency in boilers, exchangers, and heating or cooling systems.
Integration into sustainable projects
Aquanex’s proposal easily adapts to:
- Residential complexes.
- Industries.
- Hotel developments.
- Sustainable architecture projects.
In addition to improving operational efficiency and comfort, their solutions contribute to reducing the use of chemicals and waste generation, strengthening the ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) policies of the companies that implement them.
Benefits of sustainable construction
Environmental
- Lower carbon footprint: reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Resource conservation: use of recycled and renewable materials.
- Waste management: practices of reduction, reuse, and recycling.
- Biodiversity protection: design of spaces that respect local flora and fauna.
Economic
- Operational cost savings: energy efficiency and water optimization.
- Higher resale value: sustainable properties reach higher prices in the market.
- Reduction in energy consumption: incorporation of renewable energies and insulating materials.
Social and well-being
- Health improvement: cleaner and safer indoor air quality.
- Greater comfort: thermal, acoustic, and visual control that enhances livability.
- Increased productivity: healthy environments boost performance in work and educational spaces.
The incorporation of technologies like those from Aquanex demonstrates that sustainability is now a real value criterion in the Argentine market. By integrating efficient water treatment systems, real estate and industrial projects not only protect their installations but also gain competitiveness, reduce costs, and strengthen their environmental reputation.
Sustainable construction is consolidating as a driver of structural change: it reduces emissions, conserves resources, and improves people’s quality of life, projecting a more responsible and efficient future for the country.
