Saltworks provides comprehensive solutions for pond volume management & volume reduction. We can help you keep your evaporation pond in hydraulic balance by recovering freshwater from incremental to high recoveries, all the way to zero liquid discharge crystallization. Solutions include powerful technologies such as ultra-high pressure reverse osmosis, evaporators & crystallizers, sensors, and intelligent chemical softening.

Managing pond volume is a challenge in industries such as power generation, oil & gas, and mining. Expanding pond capacity can be costly and increases the liability of wastewater stored onsite. We can help you reduce pond volume through treatment.
Ways to reduce pond volume include:
Is your pond water usable other than one or two constituents of concern? Our IonSelect solutions can target and remove bad actors, enabling you to re-use your water. In some cases, this also enables production of beneficial by-products. Your pond may hold value in its water.
Alternatively, are your pond mechanics driven by too much fluid? Does it make sense to squeeze out more freshwater before the rejected brine total dissolved solids (TDS) are sent to your pond?
Is your pond recovery limited by silica in cooling tower blowdown? We have a solution for that too.
We can cost optimize freshwater recovery and brine management hydraulics of membrane systems—such as reverse osmosis (RO)—providing you with a fit-for-purpose solution. We supply extreme recovery membrane brine concentrators comprised of our XtremeRO products, coupled with our BrineRefine precision chemical softening systems.
Prior to starting your project, we can work with you to assess your recovery needs. Do not over-invest in additional freshwater recovery you do not need. Just as you should not waste your efforts on low recovery systems when you need ultra high recovery. Every situation is unique, and our engineers are ready to review your project with rapid options analysis.
Do you seek to remove both water and TDS from your pond? Our minimal liquid discharge (MLD) or zero liquid discharge (ZLD) solutions can do just that, producing clean water and minimized residual waster in our SaltMaker evaporative crystallizer products. We can help you assess options for that waste. Contact us to get started.
