“A monumental leap forward in clean water technology.”
Who We Are
Our mission is clear: Make clean water readily available for both people and industry affordably, sustainably, with minimal environmental impact.
Access to clean, fresh water is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Around the world, communities are grappling with water scarcity, contamination, and unequal distribution. Climate change, population growth, industrial pollution, and the overuse of freshwater sources continue to strain global water supplies—turning a basic human need into a crisis with profound humanitarian, economic, and geopolitical consequences.
A Breakthrough in Water Treatment
The world’s first large-scale Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) water treatment platform, Aqua Fission delivers cutting-edge water purification through a deep-vacuum, low-energy, thermodynamic process—no high-pressure pumps, membranes, chemicals, or other consumables required. Whether it’s turning seawater or brine into clean, drinkable water, treating industrial or chemical wastewater, removing radioactivity, or even extracting valuable minerals like lithium from brine, Aqua Fission provides eco-friendly, cost-effective, infinitely scalable, and widely deployable solutions.
Aqua Fission water purification technology vastly outperforms conventional methods like reverse osmosis, offering a sustainable path forward for global water challenges. It effectively removes all pollutants—both natural and synthetic—all while consuming minimal energy and leaving behind no harmful brine, ROCs, or carbon emissions.
With operating costs (OPEX) 80% lower than reverse osmosis technology and pioneering technology at its core, this groundbreaking solution redefines the standards of efficiency, sustainability, cost-effectiveness. and minimizing the ecological footprint.
Aqua Fission removes all pollutants without filters, membranes, chemicals, or high pressure — all while producing no brine waste and little to no carbon emissions.
Aqua Fission’s off-grid ready, modular design is housed in 40-foot containers, allowing for mobile installation on trolleys, ships, railway platforms, and remote locations lacking essential infrastructure. Aqua Fission technology is unparalleled globally, with no existing analogues.
