MOLLUSCURE
Bivalve Mollusc Toxic Metals Removal System
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / FEATURES
This product uses the catalytic chelation technology. It adopts sustainable and green technology as it uses chelating agent such as Sodium Citrate and Sodium Acetate. By that, this product potentially produces unharmful and non-toxic bivalve mollusk.
NEEDS
Chelating agents (e.g.: Sodium Citrate, Sodium Acetate) to remove toxic and heavy metals present in bivalve.
Catalyst to enhance the chelating process, and chemical composition that commonly available in potable water.
APPROACH
First innovation technique for removal of toxic and heavy metals in bivalve mollusk (Eg: green mussel, cockles, and oyster) achieving Malaysia and EU Food Standards.
Utilisation of cost-effective chemicals and equipment for efficient treatment at affordable case bivalve mollusk products from Malaysian aqua forms able to penetrate global markets.
BENEFITS
Increase production of the mollusk.
Can export seafood worldwide.
