Idea

"We apply our technology to existing processes and products where stable 
and high levels of oxygen is critical to healthy and sustainable 
growth."


Challenge

Agriculture:
The problem
How to achieve environmentally friendly farming practices with high yields and low impact: The need to produce more food on less space with less usage of water, fertilizer and pesticides. 
The vitamin and mineral content of produce have declined considerably over the past half century.

Human Consumption
The problem
Oxygenated water has been commercially available and popular, but few controlled studies have been conducted and with questionable ergogenic effect.
We need to show difference in oxygen (O2 )saturation measured in capillary blood in the human body to open up several markets for human consumption.

Land based fish farming:
The problem
Adequate control of microbial conditions and chemical water quality is a major challenge.
Effective water treatment and stable microbiological conditions are key to responsible and sustainable production.
At the centre is ensuring adequate levels of oxygen to breeding ponds to promote more effective growth of farmed fish.

Cosmetics:
The problem
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells, and may cause social anxiety and depression.
Acne is caused by anaerobic bacteria.
Anti-aging cosmetics play an important role in an individual's life by providing immense glow and moisturization to the skin.


Solution

Agriculture:
Accel Growth’s value proposition Increased fruiting or flowering yields and reduced cropping times. 
Up to 30% bigger crops. More resilient crops to disease reduces the need for pesticides.
Reduced water and nutrient needs.
Higher levels of Vitamin C and Vitamin A

Human consuption:
Accel Growth’s value proposition Through the Accel Growth water technology it will be possible to observe and prove a rise in paO2 in arterial blood following intake of this strongly oxygenated mineral water.
Documented through medical studies the product can be introduced to markets such as restitution, performance, well-being, to lung patients and medical use.

Land based fish farming:
Accel Growth’s value proposition With Accel Growths technology fish farmers will be able to produce the required amounts of oxygen on-site, thus removing the supply risk. 
Stable O2 levels in water 24/7 fish farming with increased feed uptake. 
Higher levels of oxygen may promote even more effective growth (to be tested in pilot with commercial partner)

Cosmetics:
Accel Growth’s value proposition Gels based on oxygenated water are already available claiming several benefits: Boosts collagen production, Speeds cell turnover, moisturizes skin, detoxifies the skin, heals acne (oxygen kills the acne-causing bacteria by damaging and destroying the membrane of the infected cell), treats uneven skin tone.

Story

Mr Audunson read about the Hunza people in 2000, how they lived longer, with less disease and sickness much thanks to the mineral rich fruit and oxygenated water from high altitude glazers in the Himalaya.
The idea was to build a machine that could do the same; infuse oxygen into water and keep it stable over time.
By being successful with the technology, and proving it by studies with official partners, we, Accel Growth, will have a positive impact on society through our stable oxygenated water solutions, adaptable for many industries around the world.
Industries such as human consumption, agriculture, cosmetics, land based fish farming, waste water and many more.
