“Aqua Fission technology
is unparalleled, with no
existing analogues.”
Benefits
Access to clean freshwater is becoming not only a humanitarian issue but a geopolitical flashpoint—putting energy, food security, and even lives at risk. Aqua Fission’s groundbreaking technology helps change all that.
Aqua Fission is the world’s first sustainable, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) water desalination and decontamination technology. Low cost; membrane and chemical free; mobile; decentralized; infinitely scalable; with no toxic brine or emissions, Aqua Fission can process water virtually anywhere, from any source, and any scale… with unmatched ROI.
Eco-Friendly / ESG
Aqua Fission remediates the environment. Ultra-low energy consumption allows off grid operation with solar or other renewable energy source. We can treat all sources of saline or contaminated water and retrofit into existing Reverse Osmosis plants to process brine and eliminate toxic discharge while doubling clean water capacity.
Modular and Scalable
Aqua Fission’s off-grid ready, modular design is housed in standard 20-foot ISO containers, allowing for mobile installation on trolleys, ships, railway platforms, and remote locations lacking essential infrastructure. Each unit is decentralized and operates independently, ensuring continuous operation.
Anywhere. Any Scale.
Aqua Fission’s modular, off-grid-ready system can be deployed in virtually any environment at any scale. Expanding capacity is as simple as adding units. Rugged in design, Aqua Fission purifies water from any source with up to 99% efficiency at water temperatures as low as 4Co, creating no toxic brine and little to no CO2 emissions.
Valuable Wet Selt Output
Aqua Fission’s filter and membrane-free, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) water purification technology offers another unique advantage over conventional reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment methods. Each Aqua Fission unit produces 3-4 tons of valuable wet salt, generating revenue and contributes to its ultra-low OPEX and fast ROI.

ESG
Aqua Fission helps organizations meet ESG goals by turning contaminated or saline water streams into reusable water while reducing waste, discharge, and environmental risk. This supports stronger environmental performance, improves water security for communities and operations, and provides measurable sustainability data for governance and reporting.
Aqua Fission can support ESG goals across all three pillars.
Environmental:
Aqua Fission reduces freshwater withdrawals by recovering water from wastewater, brine, sludge, and industrial streams. Its Zero Liquid Discharge positioning also supports lower liquid waste disposal and reduced discharge risk. That helps organizations cut pollution, reduce dependence on scarce water sources, and improve water circularity.
Aqua Fission also helps reduce the environmental burden associated with conventional desalination and wastewater treatment, especially toxic brine handling, chemical use, and disposable membranes.
Aqua Fission uses ultra-low energy and emits little to no carbon emissions and removes all types of contaminants from heavy metals. PFAS, forever chemicals and can remediate polluted sources.
Importantly, Aqua Fission can be used as a retrofit to existing Reverse Osmosis plants to process their toxic brine output, thus doubling capacity while eliminating the cost of brine handling and harm to land and marine ecosystems. The cost of toxic output handling is RARELY included in RO bids.
Social:
Aqua Fission’s water recovery and reuse improves water security for municipalities, agriculture, industry, and remote facilities to strengthen community resilience, support safer operations, and improve access to clean water in stressed regions. In sectors like food production, data centers, mining, ports, and energy, this also supports business continuity and local environmental protection.
Governance:
Aqua Fission can help show measurable progress against sustainability targets by creating trackable outputs such as water recovered, wastewater avoided, brine eliminated, emissions reduced, and byproduct reuse. That gives management and boards clearer ESG reporting metrics for investors, regulators, customers, and public-sector stakeholders.
In practical ESG terms, Aqua Fission helps organizations:
- reduce water consumption
- increase water reuse and circularity
- reduce waste discharge
- lower exposure to environmental compliance risk
- support resource efficiency
- create auditable sustainability metrics
- improve resilience in water-stressed regions

The Problem with Reverse Osmosis
Pressure is increasing to adopt sustainable technologies while rising water scarcity and brine-disposal bans accelerate demand. Reverse Osmosis (RO) dominates the water desalination and treatment market today. RO is a problematic solution because it is energy-intensive and often powered by fossil fuels, relies on plastic membranes and requires chemical treatments and constant consumable replacement. Importantly, RO generates large volumes of toxic brine and reverse-osmosis concentrates (ROC) that are costly to manage, environmentally harmful, and increasingly restricted by regulation.
Aqua Fission not only solves energy, waste, and cost limitations of RO and thermal systems, it can be a retrofit to existing RO plants to process toxic brine and ROC’s and double freshwater capacity.
- Energy-intensive and costly, requiring heating, consumables such as chemicals, membranes, reagents, inhibitors, coagulants, filters, cathodes and anodes, and high-pressure pumps that require regular replacement.
- High labor, maintenance, and toxic brine and reverse osmosis concentrate handling and disposal costs.
- Significant greenhouse emissions
- Outputs 50-65% toxic brine and reverse osmosis concentrates (ROCs) in the reject stream, increasing toxicity and disposal complexity.
- Toxic salt brine (highly concentrated seawater) and ROC’s are loaded with chemicals and heavy metals, depletes oxygen, and threatens entire ecosystems.
- Only 35-50% clean water output (and 50-65% toxic brine) requiring the processing of 2X water volume.
- Ineffective on high salt content water, PFAS and microplastics, and radioactive contaminants such as tritium.
- Requires pre- and post-treatment.
- Mineral loss and acidic pH.
- Processing and sources lead to bad tasting water.
