Advanced, Energy-Efficient Water Treatment for Oil, Ballast, and Industrial Wastewater

Aqua Fission’s Oil & Ballast Technology effectively purifies various types of water pollution, specifically oil and oil products, including ballast water, water generated during hydraulic fracturing for shale gas extraction, as well as acidic tar and other waste.

Aqua Fission leverages advanced thermodynamic phase transition processes to effectively separate and purify water contaminated with oil, petrochemicals, sediments, and chemical additives. Designed for high-efficiency operation, the system treats a wide range of complex wastewater sources, including:

• Ballast water contaminated with fuel residues, sediments, and chemical reagents from marine tankers
• Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) water, enabling closed-loop reuse in shale gas extraction
• Acidic tar and oil waste mixtures, containing water, acids, and industrial byproducts

The system applies phase transition technology to isolate and recover:

• Freshwater from salts, oil products, and chemical contaminants
• Separated oil and oil products with minimal emulsification
• Solid sediment, including chemical residues and sea salt

In hydraulic fracturing water treatment, Waterbender can extract:

• Clean, reusable freshwater
• Proppants (sand, ceramics) used in fracking operations
• Chemical additives (e.g., surfactants, biocides, pH agents), which are separated for safe disposal or reuse

System Highlights

• Modular, containerized design (40-ft units) allows for mobile deployment on ships, rail platforms, or trailers
• Up to 75 tons/day processing capacity per unit
• Scalable with modular units for linear capacity growth
• Operates 24/7/365 with minimal staffing and no need for highly specialized personnel
• Low energy consumption, compatible with solar and wind power

No Consumables Required

• Filters or membranes
• Chemicals, reagents, or coagulants
• Cathodes, anodes, or ion exchange systems

With robust thermal insulation and rugged design, Waterbender units are suitable for operation across diverse climates and harsh environments.
