Based on IP originally developed in New Zealand, Aquafortus is a deep tech startup pioneering a non-thermal solvent-based ABX desalination technology. Now a US-based company, backed by sophisticated global venture capital, Aquafortus commissioned the world's first solvent-driven desalination plant in 2024.
The ABX system can concentrate a wide range of high TDS brines from O&G, mining, and numerous industrial applications, utilizing Aquafortus’ patented chemicals to absorb water from brine to concentrate it up to saturation and beyond.
The system is scalable, operating at a fraction of the energy requirement of conventional hypersaline desalination systems, allowing a low emission, sustainable process. |
