Technology by Sector

Trying to lower your energy use or convert to minimum/zero liquid discharge?

 

Industrial effluent is an ideal candidate for forward osmosis desalination and brine concentration, because it leverages waste heat. Our FO technology provides sustainable, renewable solutions for companies requiring specialized treatment, ensuring efficient resource management while addressing environmental concerns and enhancing operational efficiency in industrial processes.

Brine ponds, Brackish, & SGMA

​

Forward osmosis desalination presents an attractive solution for farmers by recovering clean water from agricultural wastewater for irrigation as well as desalination brackish well water. This energy-efficient process not only reduces costs but also recovers valuable nutrients, enhancing soil fertility. By minimizing environmental impact and offering scalable solutions, FO empowers farmers to optimize water use and boost crop yields sustainably while meeting SGMA guidelines.

What goes in must come out...

​

Municipal water sources face rising contamination levels and increasing withdrawals from both industry and consumers. Whether your water is tainted by nitrates from nearby farms or local groundwater is compromised by flooded brine ponds, we have effective solutions to address these challenges. Our advanced technologies ensure safe, clean water for your community's varied needs.

Produced water not worth the effort?

Think again.

​

Forward osmosis is is revolutionizing produced water reuse by offering double or triple the TDS allowance and powered by waste heat. Wastewater that previously needed to be run through the system several times, can now be treated once. The USA alone makes 20-30 billion barrels of produced water annually, most of which is left uncleaned, that is a potentially huge source of useable water. ​

Mining meets Brine Mining

​

The high recovery rate of FO desalination transforms mining wastewater into valuable resources by efficiently extracting clean water and critical minerals. This sustainable process reduces treatment costs and minimizes environmental impact, allowing mining operations to conserve water and enhance profitability. By optimizing resource management, forward osmosis supports a more sustainable and profitable mining industry.

The little things matter, like a well balanced wine.​

​

Wineries today face numerous challenges, including saltwater intrusion and elevated boron levels. With wine comprised of 80-90% water, finding renewable and sustainable solutions is essential. Our services include brine concentration and water reuse, boron remediation, well water recovery, saltwater intrusion management, and desalination system optimization, ensuring a sustainable future for wineries.
