Our Process
- Hydrophis has developed a patent-pending mineral recycling process that selectively recovers high-purity compounds from waste brines by utilising CO₂
- Carbon utilisation: up to 0.4 tonnes CO₂ recycled per tonne of minerals produced
- Zero liquid discharge capability can recover up to 98% of industrial wastewater for reuse
Technical Specifications
- Pilot Plant Capacity: 30m3 of brine per day (scalable design)
- Recovery efficiency: >95% for target minerals
- Purity: >98% for all mineral products
- Energy consumption: 0.07-0.68 kWh per m3 (varies by brine composition)
- CO2 purity: Anything from ordinary air to food-grade CO2 works.
