Agriculture and agri-business operations are increasingly constrained by water scarcity, declining aquifers, rising costs, salinity, and growing regulatory pressure. In addition to traditional farming challenges, many agri-industrial activities — including meat packing, food processing, and livestock operations — generate contaminated wastewater and leachates that pose serious risks to groundwater, surface water, and surrounding communities.

Aqua Fission provides a closed-loop water solution that enables farms, agri-businesses, and irrigation authorities to secure reliable, affordable water while protecting soil health, safeguarding groundwater, and meeting sustainability and climate-resilience goals.

Addressing water scarcity and unreliable supply
Droughts, over-allocated rivers, and declining groundwater tables are making traditional irrigation and process-water sources increasingly unreliable. Aqua Fission allows agricultural and agri-industrial users to recover water from impaired sources such as brackish groundwater, drainage return flows, tailwater, and wastewater. By converting these streams into usable water, operations can reduce dependence on freshwater withdrawals and maintain production even during shortages.

Treating leachates and contaminated agri-industrial water
Agri-business operations such as meat packing, slaughterhouses, livestock processing, dairies, and food processing facilities generate wastewater containing high organic loads, fats, oils and grease (FOG), nutrients, pathogens, salts, and chemical residues. If not properly treated, these contaminants can migrate into groundwater and surface waters, creating long-term environmental and regulatory liabilities.

Aqua Fission treats these high-strength wastewater streams by removing excess salts, organic contamination, pathogens, heavy metals, PFAS, oils, and microplastics. This enables safe water reuse or compliant discharge without transferring pollution back into soils or aquifers.

Protecting groundwater and soil health
Poor-quality irrigation or process water leads to soil salinization, nutrient imbalance, reduced crop yields, and groundwater contamination. Aqua Fission produces soil-friendly water by removing harmful contaminants while retaining beneficial minerals. This protects long-term soil productivity, reduces nitrate and salt loading, and helps prevent contamination of underlying aquifers.

True Zero Liquid Discharge for agriculture and agri-business
Aqua Fission achieves true Zero Liquid Discharge, eliminating toxic brine, sludge hauling, and wastewater outfalls. This prevents contamination pathways that threaten groundwater, reduces regulatory exposure, and aligns operations with increasingly strict environmental and water-protection standards.

On-site water security and operational resilience
Aqua Fission provides continuous, on-site water availability independent of drought restrictions, canal interruptions, or declining aquifers. For agri-business operations with continuous processing requirements, this resilience reduces downtime risk and protects production schedules.

Lower water cost and long-term stability
By reducing freshwater purchases, wastewater transport, treatment, and disposal costs, Aqua Fission lowers the total cost of water for agricultural and agri-industrial users. Ultra-low energy operation and the elimination of chemical-intensive treatment help stabilize long-term operating expenses as water prices and compliance costs continue to rise.

Modular and scalable deployment
Aqua Fission’s modular design supports deployment across a wide range of scales — from individual farms and food-processing facilities to large meat packing plants and regional irrigation districts. Systems can be phased in over time, providing redundancy and flexibility as operations expand or regulations change.

ESG, climate resilience, and community trust
By reducing freshwater withdrawals, preventing groundwater contamination, and eliminating liquid waste discharge, Aqua Fission helps agricultural producers and agri-businesses demonstrate responsible water stewardship. This strengthens ESG performance, supports sustainability certifications, and improves relationships with regulators, lenders, and neighboring communities.

Result
Aqua Fission transforms impaired, contaminated, and high-strength agricultural and agri-industrial water into a reliable, reusable resource — protecting groundwater, preserving soil health, and enabling resilient food and protein production in an increasingly water-constrained world
