PORTFOLIO

Solute Smart’s portfolio consists of the recovery of freshwater and valuable minerals such as lithium from highly saline oil and gas produced water brines, using membrane distillation to attain zero liquid discharge of RO retentate and the recovery and reuse of materials from industrial wastewater.

Global water demand is expected to rise to 6,350 cubic km in 2030

Industrial water consumption is responsible for 22% of global water use

Capable of handling brines 100x more dense than RO systems can treat

Over 80% of all wastewater is discharged without treatment.

There is more than 199 trillion gallons of wastewater annually
