Brine ACT

Modular zero-liquid-discharge systems that turn industrial brines into high-purity water and recoverable salts.

Brine ACT develops a new generation of modular crystallizers that separate water from industrial brines and recover valuable salts, enabling zero liquid discharge with lower investment, energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The Problem

Industrial brines are polluting water resources and wasting valuable materials

4 billion

people experience severe water scarcity; 60% of European surface water bodies are in poor ecological condition; industry consumes 50% of freshwater. Industrial wastewater treatment can generate saline waste streams containing chlorides, sulphates, potassium, heavy metals and PFAS.

Industrial and water-treatment processes generate concentrated brines that can return pollutants to rivers and aquifers. Manufacturers need to reduce liquid discharge, recover water and manage increasingly stringent requirements around water use and pollution.

THE SOLUTION

A new generation of modular crystallizers for zero liquid discharge

Brine ACT separates water from concentrated brines, creates solid crystals and then separates the crystals from the remaining concentrate. Its modular crystallizer is designed to recover high-purity water and valuable salts while reducing the footprint and energy requirements of ZLD systems.

The Impact

Recovering water and valuable salts while reducing the footprint of ZLD

97%

high-purity water recovery; up to 60% reduction in investment and energy consumption; up to 75% reduction in carbon emissions, compared with existing solutions. A lithium-plant use case indicates an estimated 208% ROI.

Brine ACT converts industrial brines into high-purity water and recoverable salts rather than sending saline waste streams back into the environment. Its modular crystallization technology is designed to reduce energy consumption and associated carbon emissions compared with existing ZLD solutions.
