Introduction

We offer innovative solutions for water reuse, pollutant removal and recovery solutions. These help Industries turn residual wet streams into valuable resources.

About the expertise

We support agri-food, chemical and biobased industries in unlocking value from their residual wet streams. Together with our partners, we develop integrated water and resource recovery strategies, from intake to discharge, that fit operational and sustainability goals.

Our expertise covers the removal of persistent pollutants (e.g. pharmaceuticals, PFAS), desalination, and the production of fit-for-purpose water. We also recover valuable components such as nutrients, salts, and biobased compounds using advanced separation technologies.

Membrane technologies are the core of our solutions, offering efficient and cost-effective ways to separate, concentrate, purify, and recover compounds from water streams. To minimize chemical use, we integrate on-site production of acids, bases, and oxidants as part of a full-chain approach to make circular water systems practical and scalable.

We design processes that align with existing operations, ensuring technical compatibility and measurable added value.  Every solution is evaluated with techno-economic and environmental assessments to guarantee technical soundness and commercial feasibility.
