Saltworks is pleased to announce that recent advancements in reverse osmosis technology are now commercially available. Malcolm Man of Saltworks notes “we are changing the cost equation for brine management and minimal liquid discharge. In the MLD and near ZLD space, advanced reverse osmosis can now do two things previously thought unattainable:
Throughout 2019, Saltworks has been working with industrial customers and a leading RO membrane supplier to refine and thoroughly test the technology. It has now been demonstrated through repeated successful pilots in mine water management, cooling tower blowdown, brackish water desalination, oil & gas produced water, and industrial wastewater treatment. A cooling tower blowdown treatment case study was recently published by Saltworks.
The advanced RO accomplishments involve the marriage of specialized RO membranes and process-control innovations. An exciting partnership in this regard will be announced in the future. Interested readers can learn more about the technologies below or contact Saltworks.

For many companies, water plays a critical role in ESG performance. With growing challenges and concerns around pollution, climate change, and consumption of energy, water, and chemicals, investing in responsible water management can measurably improve a company’s ESG profile while reducing operational risks.
Saltworks has shipped two SaltMaker MVR crystallizers and a SaltMaker ChilledCrys to the electric vehicle (EV) battery industry. These full-scale systems will play an essential role in the production of lithium and nickel—two critical elements in EV batteries.
In the latest episode of The Water Values podcast, host Dave McGimpsey interviews Saltworks CEO Ben Sparrow about zero liquid discharge (ZLD), the range of technologies involved in achieving ZLD and how Saltworks helps companies achieve their treatment goals.
Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is an engineering approach to water treatment where all water is recovered and contaminants are reduced to solid waste.
