Exploring sustainable ways for brine transformation

By unlocking the power of different technologies, our innovative Brine Recovery System (BRS) reclaims minerals, chemicals, and water from wastewater streams.

Current situation

Brine disposal is growing as consequence of climate change

Water Scarcity

Global water scarcity due to climate change compels us to seek solutions. Desalination emerges as a key method for water procurement.

Water Desalination

Existing desalination methods allows freshwater production; however, the residual salt is typically discarded as brine.

Brine Disposal

High-salt concentration of brines could cause negative environmental and social impacts, and limits the recovery of desalination plants.

Our solution

Advanced separation of minerals, chemical synthesis and water recovery, using our own designed Brine Recovery System

Sulfuric acid

It's the most widely produced compound globally, serving as a key gauge of a country's industrial progress. It is used in fertilizer production, while also finding applications in synthesis.

Soft water

After extracting most of the components, the water can be recycled within the same desalination plant, reducing the need for feedwater (capture), chemicals, and pre-treatments.

Hydrochloric acid

Known also as muriatic acid and spirits of salt, plays a vital role as a laboratory essential and finds versatile applications across a wide spectrum of industries.

Calcium

Harnessing the potential of calcium, sourced from ubiquitous calcium present in brines, our system utilizes this element to efficiently fix CO₂ as calcium carbonate.

Sodium hydroxide

Commonly referred to as lye and caustic soda, plays a pivotal role in society, finding applications in the production of paper, textiles, and detergents.

Magnesium

It's the third most abundant element in seawater, used in furnaces for iron, steel, and other metals, plus agriculture, medicine, chemical synthesis and construction.

Expected Benefits

After BRS integration

Increased Recovery

Soft water can be recycled to the desalination plant, increasing the total recovery.

Reduction of Brine

Decreasing the negative environmental impact associated with brine disposal.

Less Pumping

The increased recovery helps to decrease pumping, and related civil works related with pipes.

CO₂ Capture

If renewable energy is employed, desalination plants could fix CO₂, intead of emiting it.

Sustainable Products

A variety of products are obtained in a more sustainable way than traditional extraction methods.

Less Maintenance

By replacing feed water with soft water, less chemicals are needed as pre-treatment, and damage to membranes.

Regulatory Compliance

By decreasing the amount of discharged brines, it is possible to comply with more restrictive normatives.

Remarkable Potential

Projections 2030

41400 Desalination plants worldwide

370 Million m³/d of brine, available

100 Million t/y of CO₂, to capture

55800 t/d of magnesium, to recover

ALIGNED TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE

Shared Global Targets

By increasing recovery of desalination plants, more water will be available for surrounding communities.

We promote the utilization of renewable energy and efficient technologies for brine transformation.

Desalination is annualy growing, sustainable solutions are needed to lead with the increased consumpion.

Brine is recovered to produce multiple products, as an alternative to traditional extraction processes.

We want to transform the desalination plants into carbon capture facilities, to mitigate climate change.

Less brine discharged into the ocean, and reduced suction of seawater will improve life bellow water.
