Our Environmental Projects

We would like to share with you the details of a breakthrough seawater desalination technology called Waterbender, which eliminates the need for membranes, drastically reduces energy use, and protects marine ecosystems.

More than just an alternative, Waterbender can be seamlessly integrated with existing high-capacity RO desalination systems. When used in tandem, it can treat the highly saline brine produced by RO plants, increasing overall water recovery efficiency by up to +90%.

Primary Technology Scenarios

The Waterbender Technologies are universal, covering more than 18 different application areas including desalination of seawater, complete purification of brines, treatment of chemical or wastewater, pyrolysis liquids, and ballast water, as well as the removal of arsenic, lead, mercury, and other groundwater contaminants.

The system is extremely low in energy consumption and is capable of harnessing solar and wind energy as well. It does not require consumables, filters, membranes, chemicals, reagents, inhibitors, coagulants, filters, cathodes, anodes, etc. Productivity can be increased by using multiple 40-foot-long, linearly expanding capacity devices.
