Our engineering experts can evaluate your project’s needs, and model and develop applicable solutions. This enables de-risking and optimization on paper, before you invest in pilots or larger capital plants. Considerations may include:
We get deep into the details. A lot can be learned on paper prior to a pilot test, enabling more optimized pilot tests or full-scale initiatives. Water chemistry, test planning, and pilot program design will ensure your results reflect project scale-up conditions.
Our engineers routinely develop, model, and test novel process and control solutions for unique treatment challenges. Whether you need a whole new plant, or amelioration of an existing project, we can help you to find the right solution and implement it. For example:
After developing and modelling a new process for your project, we demonstrate that it works. Our fleet of pilot plants and equipment is ready to prove performance at our testing facilities or at your site.

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.
Saltworks is pleased to announce that recent advancements in reverse osmosis technology are now commercially available. Reduce conventional RO brine volumes by 50%, achieving brine concentrations of 130,000 to 150,000 mg/L TDS with spiral wound RO membranes.
Saltworks announces ScaleSense: our real-time, ion-specific sensor that works on saline waters i.e. brines. By measuring scaling species live, it enables users to optimize processes in real time as conditions change—without the need for human intervention, lab work, or guesswork.
