INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Complex streams. Specific challenges. Selective possibilities.
We are exploring applications where selectivity, regeneration, and resource recovery could address limitations of conventional treatment. Every opportunity starts with the chemistry of the stream and the needs of the process.
Application areas under evaluation
01 / APPLICATION
Oil & Gas Produced Water
POTENTIAL APPLICATION
Challenge
Produced water and hydraulic-fracturing streams may contain high salinity, competing ions, and diverse contaminants. This complexity can limit options for selective treatment and resource recovery.
Opportunity
Explore selective treatment and recovery opportunities within high-salinity streams, alongside appropriate pretreatment and downstream handling.
How selective separation could help
Selective separation could help target particular ions or contaminants without treating every dissolved species in the same way. Compatibility with each water chemistry and workflow would require evaluation.

Critical Minerals & Battery Recycling
POTENTIAL APPLICATION
Challenge
Battery-recycling and materials-processing streams can contain mixtures of valuable ions, impurities, and process chemicals. Separating a target material from similar competing species can be difficult.
Opportunity
Explore selective concentration and recovery of valuable materials from streams that are challenging for conventional bulk-treatment processes.
How selective separation could help
Selective separation could help distinguish target ions from competing species and create more focused recovery streams. Development and evaluation would be specific to each feed chemistry and recovery objective.

PFAS Treatment
POTENTIAL APPLICATION
Challenge
Persistent fluorinated contaminants can occur in chemically complex waters. Competing species and varying stream conditions complicate targeted separation and management.
Opportunity
Explore advanced approaches for targeted separation and concentration of persistent contaminants within challenging water-treatment workflows.
How selective separation could help
Selective materials and complementary electrochemical processes could support targeted contaminant separation. Captured contaminants would still require appropriate downstream management; separation is not a claim of destruction.

Semiconductor Manufacturing
POTENTIAL APPLICATION
Challenge
Process-water streams may contain competing ions and chemically diverse residues, complicating selective treatment and recovery.
Opportunity
Explore targeted treatment and recovery within specific process-water streams rather than relying only on bulk removal.
How selective separation could help
Selective membrane and electrochemical approaches could help concentrate species of interest while separating them from competing ions. Suitability would need to be evaluated for each stream.
