SaltMaker MVR & MSF Evaporative Crystallizers
Achieve true ZLD with two forced circulation evaporative crystallizer options: SaltMaker MVR and SaltMaker MSF.
Industrial water and lithium projects are all unique with multiple valid solutions. Sound process engineering starts projects on the right path with a quantitative analysis of available technologies while considering a project’s specific:
Your time is important. Our experts routinely develop, model, and test novel process and control solutions for industrial water and lithium challenges. We provide rapid turnaround on initial assessments that help clients to avoid future regret or re-work. Two weeks spent upfront can save a lot of wasted time and money by de-risking and optimizing before making investments in pilot projects or full-scale plants.
When the right technologies have been chosen, or if you have an existing system that needs optimization or upgrading, our engineering experts optimize the design. Considerations may include:
Significant optimization can be achieved before testing with physical pilot assets, all using information such as water chemistry and flow rates alongside our process expertise.
After developing and modelling a new process for your project and with expert analysis in hand, an informed decision can be made to advance to bench tests and pilot programs. Careful, expert bench and pilot test design will demonstrate performance and ensure that the results reflect project scale-up conditions.
Our fleet of pilot plants and equipment is ready to prove performance at our testing facilities or at your site. Advancing your project in stage-gated increments can help manage risk while re-evaluating process design at each test completion milestone.
As an engineering and technology firm, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and a plant operator, we see all angles of water and lithium processes. We ensure that your feedback and needs are incorporated into anything we propose or design while being honest about whether we are the right fit to advance your project.
With our multi-disciplinary expertise and extensive network of partners, we know how to advance projects to the delivery of effective, full-scale solutions, including when to work with others to support you, including other technical professionals or OEM partners. Contact us now to get started.

BrineRefine is a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) that executes diverse chemical reactions efficiently and with precision.
Our UHP RO minimizes brine from tough industrial wastewaters and delivers the highest freshwater recovery in the industry.
The many options for managing brine, a term for saline wastewater from industrial processes, fall under two categories: brine treatment and brine disposal. Brine treatment involves desalinating the brine for reuse and producing a concentrated brine (lower liquid waste volume), or residual solids (zero liquid discharge).
As regulations on FGD wastewater tighten, additional treatment is required. Often, this is chemically intense, and high cost. The best means to lower treatment costs is to reduce the volume of wastewater generated, usually by increasing internal recycle.
RO recovery and RO brine concentration are limited by osmotic pressures or membrane scaling; both limits have been increased by new technologies. A series of techniques described here can be used to delay or mitigate scale, but in many cases only chemical softening truly removes risk.
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.
