“Aqua Fission transforms seawater into pure drinking water — with zero liquid discharge, ultra-low energy, and infinite scalability.”
Water Desalination
Pure, Mountain-spring Water from Seawater, Saline Boreholes, and High-Salinity Sources.
Aqua Fission™ is Revolutionizing How the World Makes Fresh Water
Water scarcity and salinity are among the most widespread and urgent challenges for communities, industries, and agriculture around the world. Many regions depend on high-salinity water sources — including seawater, coastal aquifers, salinated boreholes, and industrial brines — yet traditional desalination technologies often struggle with high energy consumption, costly maintenance, waste brine disposal, and complex scaling issues.
Aqua Fission offers a fundamentally different approach to desalination: a thermodynamic separation process that produces clean, potable water from saline sources with lower energy demand, zero continuous wastewater discharge, and the potential for valuable resource recovery, including lithium from brines.
Aqua Fission™ is a breakthrough water purification technology that transforms seawater and brine into pure drinking water — with zero waste or liquid discharge, ultra-low energy use, and infinite scalability — while producing valuable wet salt.
Proven Technology
Aqua Fission™ has been successfully completed industrial scale projects in multiple countries and validated by independent laboratories, including SGS.
Aqua Fission™ — Pure Water, Zero Waste, Maximum Efficiency
Whether you’re a municipality, industry, or disaster relief agency, Aqua Fission™ delivers sustainable water security — without the environmental cost of conventional desalination.
Why Aqua Fission™ Changes the Game
Aqua Fission’s Thermodynamic Separation Advantage
Aqua “Fission” uses deep-vacuum, low-temperature thermodynamic distillation to separate water from dissolved salts and all types of contaminants, including arsenic, mercury and heavy metals, PFAS and forever chemicals, valuable lithium, and more.
Aqua Fission revolutionary platform offers a fundamentally different approach to desalination that produces clean, potable water from saline sources with lower energy demand, zero continuous wastewater discharge, and the potential for valuable resource recovery, including lithium from brines.
Thermodynamic separation avoids membrane fouling and does not require chemical additives, allowing the system to handle feedwater with very high salinity and complex dissolved mineral compositions or [post-processing toxic brine and reverse osmosis concentrates (ROCs)] from existing reverse osmosis plants to double capacity and eliminate environmental harm.
99.9% Water Recovery / Zero Liquid Discharge or ROCs
Unlike reverse osmosis (RO), which discards up to 50% of intake water as brine, Aqua Fission™ recovers the entire volume of seawater. From 100 m³ of seawater, you get 96 tons of potable water and 4 tonnes of marketable wet salt.
Ultra-Low Energy Consumption
Consumes just 0.7–1 kWh per ton of water — 10–20× less energy than Reverse Osmosis systems.
No Consumables
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and no chemicals, membranes, no filters, reagents, or cathodes/anodes. Aqua Fission eliminate recurring supply costs and minimizes labor and environmental impact.
Ready-to-Bottle Drinking Water
Produces premium-quality potable water with balanced minerals — no need for UV, remineralization, or post-treatment.
Dramatically Lower Costs
OPEX is 4-6x lower than comparable RO plants, with rapid ROI. Aqua Fission operates 365 days/year, with no daily servicing required. With remote monitoring and management, only 6-8 personnel are required for 24/7 operations of a 500 m³/day facility.
Fully Modular & Scalable
Each standard 40-foot containerized Aqua Fission line produces 100 tons of water and 4 tons of wet salt per day, operates autonomously, and can run off-grid with solar or alternative power sources. With a footprint of just 99 m² per unit, scaling production is as simple as adding more units.

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 disposal costs.
- Significant greenhouse emissions
- Outputs 50% 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 50% clean water output (and 50% 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.
