The Technology Breakthrough

MemBrine Concentrator™ solves the critical industry problem: the massive energy gap between conventional membranes (~10% dissolved solids) and expensive thermal processes. Our proprietary recirculation design allows standard RO equipment to achieve concentrations previously only possible with thermal systems.

Key Advantages

  • Bridges Energy Gap: Eliminates 25-60 kWh/m³ thermal requirement

  • Standard Equipment: No specialized high-pressure or thermal equipment needed

  • Perfect ZLD Front-End: Concentrates brine to crystallization-ready levels

  • Proven Commercial: 1st generation deployed Indonesia 2022

Applications

  • Zero Liquid Discharge: Front-end concentration before crystallization

  • Lithium Pre-Concentration: From 0.1-0.2% to 6% Li concentration

  • Resource Recovery: Barium, sodium chloride, critical minerals

  • Industrial Compliance: Meeting ZLD mandates cost-effectively

Competitive Positioning

  • vs Conventional Membranes: 2.8x higher concentration capability

  • vs Thermal Systems: Up to 5x lower energy consumption

  • vs Evaporation Ponds: Eliminates 18-24 month timelines
